A forum with public categories, private categories, and one set of record shapes across both: members own their posts, the forum owns the submission wrappers that admit them into categories, and moderators deactivate into tombstones instead of deleting.
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 Shapes: Self-Only Bookmarks - Nick's Blog

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...
The smallest permissioned data shape: a bookmarks space with a member list that never grows past me. Same bookmark record the atmosphere already uses, same write path, different address. URIs, scopes, tokens, and the full credential flow inside.
