🪩 Introducing matadisco.org! — a way to discover open datasets via #atproto that doesn't depend on any single institution staying online. 🕺🏼 We have more public data than ever (satellite imagery, climate models, genomic sequences), but finding it is still painfully hard.

This could be very relevant for funding the atproto ecosystem, especially once private data is supported ifp.org/unlocking-a-... "The challenge is not data scarcity, but rather barriers to ... utilizing existing high-quality data resources." also see associated funding call ifp.org/rfp-launch/

Emerging from being "down in the technical weeds" of #atproto is a little mashup of @semble.so & WayFinder (wayfinders.network) Semble team released "open collections" this week - here we explore the "private & permissioned data" collection, created by @bmann.ca & now with 3 other contributors

@masnick.com I’m listening to your interview with @reckless.bsky.social. This third party doctrine is interesting. Do you think that atproto data would be considered properly owned by the account individual? Would be interesting implications if that public data fall under search and seizure rights.

Hey @surf.social the atproto early adopter / tech community can’t recommend you until you implement OAuth. This is a pretty big user security issue. Let us know if you need help or contract @thisismissem.social

Don’t fret, atproto OAuth is coming to Surf!
