@vtrlxVictoria i personally still actually think this is something that can be attached to the code itself (upon the git merkle tree using git-notes) but architecting ephemeral messages intended to be attached to a merkle tree is really hard and requires essentially the same mental gymnastics as running an app "on the blockchain". i think there is a limited form of this that can be usefully attached to a commit tree, but it's definitely much easier to architect as a distinct service which merely interfaces with the git tree

@vtrlxVictoria one issue i have with making things "federate" is that AP requires hosting a server that can receive requests. if we can stick things into git, we can use existing git infrastructure for it, and we can architect the protocol to query messages from a particular time span, or touching a particular file—all things git is already great at doing!
