Permissioned Data Shapes: Community-Moderated Content - Nick's Blog
A community can own spaces the way a person does: a club's members post to each other under a dedicated community DID, with a feed space for content, a moderation space for notes, a labels space for filtering, and a single app view as the only window into any of it.
Permissioned Data Shapes: Notifications - Nick's Blog

B-Sides: Permissioned data is a love triangle - Nick's Blog
This is a B-sides post with unpolished thoughts that didn’t make it into the main article.
