Yeah for sure! My thoughts on it are long so I’ll likely do a blog post reply. Fun fact: it’s called permissioned data because a bunch of folks were insistent that only encrypted data is actually private.

Those folks are crazy. My house is private, but not encrypted. That’s too bad. I was talking to someone at local first and we stumbled over “permissioned” again and again, I proposed we just call it “private”, boom, way easier to talk all night. One of those words is way clearer than the other.

Fwiw I am totally familiar with this dynamic, where people with the strongest perspective set the terms. But, especially in OSS (and leftist communities), that often ends up being exclusionary right than inclusionary.
