and this is why permissioned data is the most important innovation that will come from atproto, period. i can't wait for the future once it lands

the lack of permissioned data is already killing a lot of stuff. there are so many apps that you just can't really build at all right now (without creating your own back end, at which point the value proposition of atproto is massively reduced)

Part of the appeal of AT Proto and PDS and, by extension, PD, is that it can function as an orthogonal, user-provided storage for private data used in distributed, self-hostable apps (Chatto being just one example.)

In Chatto, I would *immediately* jump on PD because it would allow me to store private data like what servers the user is connected to without any of the involved servers ever seeing this data (or requiring the user to pick a "home server", which is the path I'm probably taking now.)
