ATProto Community Labeler

Labelers & Moderation
1

What if we had a way to identify fellow members of the atproto community all across the atmosphere? A way to filter our community feeds for people who are excited about this technology and what it enables, not flyby bad faith misinformation. Or our own verification of the people building atproto apps? Let this thread be a discussion space for such a labeler. Conversation began on Discord. I have created a Leaflet doc to map out the function and governance of such a labeler. Open to suggestions and modifications.

The First Person Project is working on a way for people to securely vouch for each other. The Linux kernel team is looking to this effort as a way to prevent the next XZ Utils hack.

Thanks @tynanpurdy.com for bringing this over!

  • Enthusiast: I like what atproto is doing
  • Advocate: ask me questions about atproto, follow for news
  • Developer: I am building with the atproto technology

I’d suggest “Designer” as well. I think we have some work to do on which labels resonate with people.

Hilariously, we could make “Hater” label that people can self label with! But that’s not in the spirit of joy :stuck_out_tongue:

I think the Builder one is interesting but maybe we do that for later and we don’t need it at all yet? Could also be opt in – e.g. “I work on Leaflet” (or like Leaflet?) but that overlaps with a couple of different other labelers and purposes I think?

Sounds like Skyware, which I haven’t used, might be simplest for the “like to choose a label”, and leaves us out of verification land for now.

I think next steps are:

  • skyware, who can install and run? does it need to be forked into a Tangled page?
  • I can provide access to a Railway account for running it
  • create a feed based on these labels

And generally seeing who wants to work on this, communicate it, launch it, and so on.

Thanks @bellack.com – we have a couple of different “vouch” formats and attestations in ATProto (and a new one is launching on Monday!)

For this, we’re using opt in labelers so people can self identify as working on / enjoying ATProto, which is a pretty straightforward built in feature.

@tynanpurdy.com sounds like @knowtheory.net is sticking his hand up to be back end deploy guy.

And we now have a VPS

Ok awesome, thanks Ted! I can take some time to revise the labels list draft.
