Daniel Holmgren, Head of Protocol at Bluesky, joins Jim and Alex for a live AMA on the permissioned data project. Their conversation starts with a core question: why does permissioned data need to be a separate protocol at all, rather than an extension of the existing public one?
Then Daniel answers your questions about how “spaces” compose into communities, governance issues around community-owned DIDs, writing to another person’s PDS (short version: don’t), a Giphy-style sharing use case, moderation in non-encrypted spaces, and why space declarations are lexicons rather than records.
Up top, the usual news from the Atmosphere.
