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.

Also now found on the top left of the website! I only wanted to update the favicon, because the old favicon had no contrast on light backgrounds, whereas this one does; but that also changed the logo on that part of the actual site. I'm keeping it this way now >3_transgender verified_trans

@nyxt @skydotbit Because most projects are led by patriarchically-adherent figures with an ego too big to learn from the mistakes that others have made. -ava

@snugglybun I think that to replace Discord, the UX of the competing application must be not good, but great. Luckily, this is our number one goal with this protocol, and the reason which makes me very optimistic about people actually flocking to it, once it becomes ready.

@tauon Yes! The core specification is definitely at a point where you can feasibly implement it and start sending some basic messages with it.

The polyproto SDK is being made more consumable through moving more runtime validity checks to compile-time, where they belong! 🏗️

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.

cat_is_blob_and_lesbian polyproto now features 100% more PURRs and PAWs.

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
