okay may have to rename buckets... my biggest problem with the word is that it refers to the abstract member-wide context and doesn't leave a good word a single member's "bucket partition" (which i think needs a name) any ideas? bonus points if you get both words

"a bucket doesn’t necessarily imply a physical container sitting on one PDS. Consider how threads ..." The distributed-vs-centralized storage question is where this gets really interesting. If buc...

Permissioned Data Diary 3: Your Bucket, My Data - Daniel's Leaflets
The third in a series of posts building up a solution to permissioned data on atproto. We look at two different models for where buckets live and why the simpler-looking one doesn’t work out.

Permissioned Data Diary 2: Buckets - Daniel's Leaflets
The second in a series of posts building up a solution to permissioned data on atproto. We introduce buckets: a new protocol primitive for creating a shared social context.
celld — Durable Objects, self-hosted
The bucket is the coordinator — no membership protocol, no failure detector, no consensus. Ownership is a record in your bucket, claimed with one atomic write. celld's built-in replicator continuously ships each cell's SQLite state to that bucket as LTX segments.
Timothy Morton
Timothy Bloxam Morton is a professor and Rita Shea Guffey Chair in English at Rice University. A member of the object-oriented philosophy movement, Morton explores the intersection of object-oriented thought and ecological studies. Morton's use of the term 'hyperobjects' was inspired by Björk's 1996 single 'Hyperballad', although the term 'Hyper-objects' has also been used in computer science since 1967. Morton uses the term to explain objects so massively distributed in time and space as to transcend localization, such as climate change and styrofoam.

Atproto Spaces (buckets, we hardly knew ye) have moved from a proposal to real live working — AND VERY MUCH ALPHA DO NOT USE THIS IN PRODUCTION — code. We even set up a working PDS for y'all to use, head over to bsky.network/account to get going
AT Protocol Developers
The most significant extension to the protocol since launch—atproto spaces—is now officially alpha software you can start testing with. Here's more about the goals and how to start testing. atproto.com/blog/atproto-spaces-alpha
continuing to build up our permissioned data protocol! this one asks what a bucket actually is and where the data that constitutes a bucket is stored. it argues for maintaining the atproto ethos in the permissioned data protocol as always, looking forward to hearing your thoughts!
