Context I observed suboptimal and unsustainable patterns in several groups that I organize events with. For example Berlin Hack\&Tell started out with meetup.com/berlin-hack-and-tell. In the beginning this worked well and helped bootstrapping the community. But capitalism and the process of enshit...

The protocol escaped Twitter and now drives Bluesky, the fast-growing social media site. It can do a lot more. This talk will cover: the principles underlying the design of atproto, why those principles matter, Bluesky and the unbundling of feeds, blocklists, curation and tagging, how the protocol works (Dag-cbor, Merkle Search Trees, DID:PLC), and how to make bots to make stuff happen on-chain.
Overview This proposal introduces the community.lexicon.calendar.transfer record type for the ATProtocol ecosystem. This record serves as a “sidecar” mechanism to indicate when a community.lexicon.calendar.event record has been transferred from one owner to another, enabling seamless event ownership transitions in decentralized calendar systems. Problem Statement In decentralized social networks, events are often created by community members on behalf of organizers who may not yet be present on...
