polyproto A refreshingly simple, decentralised, federated protocol. No more losing friends, followers or messages if your old homeserver sunsets. Feel free to migrate to another homeserver at any time, even if your old homeserver has shut down ages ago.

The README for the "polyproto-dot-org" repository was majorly updated today. It now explains the terms "PURR" and "PAW" and elaborates on how spec change requests are best submitted.

boost_requested Matrix has MSCs (Matrix Spec Changes), XMPP has XEPs (XMPP Extension Protocols)... We'd also like a fun acronym to describe change proposals to the polyproto specification and polyproto.org-managed polyproto extensions! Which of the options below would you like most? ​espeon_love​ ​neocat_flop_blep​

A standard term for polyproto spec change proposals is needed. I was thinking PURR (Polyproto Update & Revision Request) or CAT (Change & Architecture Track(er/ing)) blobcat

We are finally starting to produce a draft for OpenID Connect as an auth-standard for user->own home server authentication. This might also pull in SCIM, but everything about that is still very blurry. Please feel free to leave thoughts, questions and opinions here, or on our Zulip.

@5225225 An argument is perhaps to be made, that
- A service being down is something that users begrudgingly accept, but do not take massive issue with
- The much reduced complexity through "a room is on a server" making for less engineering challenges, which, in turn, may actually contribute to the real-world uptime being higher on these services, compared to ones using more complicated distribution logic

Good standardization and open sharing of standards are not sufficient for making a protocol with no central point of potential failure. Governance has to be inclusive, accessible, transparent, democratic and community-owned. All of these points are paramount to creating protocols and software aiming to be around for a long time.

That, or have direct billionaire funding; though I much prefer my soul. blobcat

In a Pull Request touching 80 files, polyproto-rs (polyproto reference implementation in Rust) was painfully rid of all lintable bad style, missing documentation, inconsistent usages of things and sneaky ways to enabling crate features which would break the build of the library neocat_googly_blep

All of this was enabled by refactored CI and style-checking suites now powered by nixos nix and @lix_projectlix-girlkisser (,,that's their logo right,?)

Today in polyproto-extension discussion: Finding a good solution for chat backups of encrypted chats, should we decide on wanting this as a feature; including figuring out how to have an explicit choice between post-compromise security and the added usability of chat backups. neobot_shocked

Will try out little explanation posts when the protocol specification(s) are updated, summarizing what changed and why! neobot_melt_happy
