so-called "protocol" (exaggerated scare quote hand gesture)
for atproto devs and protocol watchers, I published an overview of the network moderation architecture. it tries to cover all the mod actions possible for each service type. this design has been around a while, but not well documented. this doc is not very polished, but could clarify some details [AT Moderation Architecture | b...]( )

cooking on tooling for lexicon schemas: publishing, synchronizing, linting, checking evolution, etc. still some rough edges, and need to show how codegen will hinge off this, but feedback welcome! [tangled.org/@bnewbold.net/...](πŸ“ƒ.md )

at://devs! I wrote up a lexicon style guide, looking for feedback. also cooking on a linting tool to check a a bunch of these [Draft Lexicon Style Guide (Lex...]( )
blueksy video uploads are temporarily broken right now; probably impacting skylight etc as well. we are working to fix the problem and expect them to be flowing soon
they should invent a more powerful banana
procedural TV voice: they are calling it "app server"
pretty broad/serious disruptions to bluesky network services, including relay and jetstream, impacting much of broader ecosystem. events (including posts) from many PDS hosts are delayed and coming in spikes. root cause is upstream transit problems. working to bring up alt transit.
