Permissioned Data Diary 1: To Encrypt or Not to Encrypt - Daniel's Leaflets
The first in a series of posts about major design decisions along the way to a permissioned data protocol for atproto.
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.
Permissioned Data Diary 5: What’s in a Name? - Daniel's Leaflets
In this permissioned data diary, we dive deep into the URI structure for permissioned data on atproto and use it to motivate a bunch of the larger design.

Permissioned data by dholms · Pull Request #94 · bluesky-social/proposals
This is an initial proposal for permissioned data. Details, terminology, and behaviors are all likely to change. For a friendly introduction to the protocol, check my my Leaflets. For discussion, f...
Permissioned data is a love triangle - Nick's Blog
Permissioned data is a love triangle between the user, the identities they grant permissions to, and the applications everyone uses to view controlled data. We don't need to change or reinvent the protocol to have it, because ATProtocol already supports it.
Permissioned data proposal discussion
This is a forum thread to collect feedback on the permissioned data protocol proposal! To clarify: this is still a proposal. I expect many changes along the way. Suggestions may also be submitted as issues/PRs. I had hoped to have an alpha version of the PDS alongside this proposal, however I didn’t quite get there yet. Hoping to have that in the next couple weeks. The previous thread was here: Early permissioned data proposal draft feedback Changes since then: Responded to a bunch of feed...

Permissioned Data PDS Lexicons
I wanted to share a first pass of the PDS lexicons for the permissioned data protocol to get some feedback while the paint’s still wet! You can check them out on my working branch: Comparing main...permissioned-data · bluesky-social/atproto · GitHub They’re all under the com.atproto.space namespace: atproto/lexicons/com/atproto/space at permissioned-data · bluesky-social/atproto · GitHub Confidence rating on Lexicons is probably like ~70-80%. Broad strokes, I think the shape is there. Though ...


Reading Proposal 0016: What atproto’s “Permissioned Data” Actually Does - Nick's Blog
AT Protocol is public by default. Everything you write goes into a signed, archived, and rebroadcastable repository that anyone can read from and moves throu…
I wrote my first #atproto community discourse topic. Pretty simple idea, but can be a good groundwork for private data, group-owned data or off-protocol data.
[Proposal] AT-URI for cross-service records
discourse.atprotocol.community@dholms.at motivated me to make a follow up post on Stratos, @transrights.northsky.social approach to permission data on ATproto! This one is a bit of a brief technical overview and as a nice bonus, I've made the code base public.
