Pierre Poilievre crosses floor to Liberals

Right now extensibility of shapes up as custom app-by-app app-centric development where individual devs just pragmatically throw new stuff on the wire, and when their app gains any popularity or other apps to integrate in a similarish application, things are bolted onto that in random ways. That whole story really constitutes a Big Ball of Mud anti-pattern that only introduces protocol decay, tech debt, and whack-a-mole programming, that is very hard to get rid of once there exists an installed base.

The reason that we do things that way is very understandable. It works in a grassroots environment where indivualist devs find it very hard and not valuable to collaborate at scale in what amounts to a kind of design-by-consensus process. But it comes at a high cost, where interoperability is basically out the door and any app has to be shaped as a pretzel and adopt all the quirks introduced by predecessors in a particular app domain to fit itself on the wire.

It does not need to be that way. I am quite happy after all (after being initially frustrated) by how has disrupted things, and opened the eyes of devs in the ecosystem that we must act or lose out (stay niche, which may be fine too) to the Atmoshpere and how it enables devs to focus on service and product delivery instead of low-level wire plumbing and continuous breakages.

ATProto also shows the way that we can now follow on the to catch up again: cocreate a similar robust basis for people to build on. had the advantage of a greenfield start and dedicated team unburdened by past decisions. And they build this whole Lexicon system and ways to introspect functionality.

We can do that too, solve the conundrum, and create an extensibility mechanism that allows devs to focus on service modeling. The more introspection this mechanism allows for, the less design-by-consensus is required, easing expansion to new domains.

I started planning a new app for Pixelfed/Loops/Sup admins.

It's really complex to try and add admin support to the main apps, due to oauth scopes (users don't need to be more confused), and the fact they aren't designed for that.

Having a separate admin app would allow them to manage multiple instances, get push notifications and keep the main apps lighter.

Likely won't be ready until Q4, I have a few other things to finish first 🤠

having full end-to-end control of two of the biggest fediverse platforms is a rare thing.

it means real progress: comment controls, unified messenger, ephemeral stories.

it also helps legitimize smaller projects doing incredible work — emissary, gotosocial and beyond.

we're living the fairytale 🫶

I am an allegedly functional adult so I can have (more) coffee any time I want it. Will it help this yawning and this day? Stay tuned, but don't hold your breath, coffee is sort of decorative to me.

(I once quit coffee cold turkey for a week with no observable side effects, when you're usually supposed to notice symptoms from caffeine withdrawal and so on.)

@rakoo @ricciRob Ricci have a read of Lauren's article: connectedplaces.online/where-d

Yes, community on AT Protocol is a nascent concept still, but the separation of identity + data from applications makes it possible to experiment and have one social graph or many.

One project doing community spaces on AT Protocol is: github.com/collectivesocial/op

yes, if we're looking at mastodon and the model it has created that all microblogging apps have copied, then community doesn't really exist in the technical parts but must be artificially built up. The more interesting example is the threadiverse where communities are literal spaces: people congregate towards one or any number, they are independent from your server and from your identity. This, to me, feels closer to how communities start to create: pick an obvious topic, make obvious-y rules about what is on-topic or not to guide what people can talk about, then possibly graduate from there to another form (maybe a specific, closed community with your people). I do think more visibility should be given to the threadiverse rather than microblogging, or even mastodon, because of all the problems you have listed. And the future direction of AP should definitely split the server from the usage and build apps on the client only !
