We just finished a restructuring. The website is now the source of truth for governance, the schemas moved to Tangled, NSID resolution got a dedicated identity, and the process is lighter. The story is on the new blog: blog.lexicon.community/a/3mrlquupo2a23-reintroducing…

It's time to rebuild the web
The web was never supposed to be a few walled gardens of concentrated content owned by a few major publishers; it was supposed to be a cacophony of different sites and voices.
Announcing Ibis, the federated Wikipedia Alternative — ibis.wiki
Wikipedia is the most popular online encyclopedia, and millions of people rely on it every day to provide trustworthy information on a wide variety of topics. It is not well known but there have been numerous scandals which put this trust into question. For example in 2012, a trustee of the Wikimedia Foundation UK used his position to place his PR client on Wikipedia's front page 17 times within a month. Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales made extensive edits to the article about himself, removing mentions of co-founder Larry Sanger. In 2007, a prolific editor who claimed to be a graduate professor and was recruited by Wikipedia staff to the Arbitration Committee was revealed to be a 24-year-old college dropout. These are only a few examples, journalist Helen Buyniski has collected much more information about the the rot in Wikipedia.

My notebook and space for thinking out loud since February 2000.
Yep. This is what is missing in the ATProto vision. The lexicons should've been a like schema.org instead of domain name-based. Everyone who wants to improve it can discuss it, similar to, well, schema.org. The frontend must be separate from the content. It's beneficial in many ways.

My "Introduction to #ATProto" blog post that I've been working on for some time is ready 🙂 It goes through things like records, lexicons, DIDs, then PDS/AppView etc. and how it all works together. Let me know if anything is wrong! More parts later, with the Fedi comparisons & misconceptions etc.
Introduction to AT Protocol
mackuba.euConversation here is very helpful framing for ATProto builders. The protocol has re-created the opportunity to restore the web as an open curation ecosystem that isn't controlled by any one platform, built not just on links between pages, but on the relationships between people, links and sources.
