@liaizonwakest ⁂ I absolutely agree. I think the client-first development environment for ATProto makes this kind of work extremely emergent.

As @tsyesikaTsyesìka said at FOSDEM in the Social Web Devroom, the ActivityPub social API ("C2S") is our equivalent to this programming interface. We need to get it kickstarted so we can build interesting social networking applications without having to build the server side, delivery, queuing, etc.

We're trying to get this going in the SocialCG:

I think @django has done great work to evaluate all the different servers. It would be cool to get to a reference server that developers could use.
