Just wanted to chime in on mention of ACL's (but by no means an expert).

In a W3C mailing list post which @cwebber called "Maybe the most important thing I've ever written (at least about computing)" ...

... there's a section called "ACL's considered harmful" and reference to this PDF paper:

https://waterken.sourceforge.net/aclsdont/current.pdf

Christine since started https://spritely.institute and is working on #ObjectCapabilities and #OCapN.

@vyr yes, I think I read the paper you mention a long time ago. Unfortunately the development of the #Spritely technology is big in scope and still at academic levels that are above my head. The prio for an AP integration may been dialed down in favor of a generic technology standard and the #OCapN. https://github.com/ocapn

Not an answer to your question, but #ForgeFed is looking into #CapnProto as an intermediate technology to use until Spritely becomes available.

Note that on Monday the 16th of Jan at 6-7pm UTC there's an #OCapN meetup. See:

Hi @erincandescent 👋

@ignis just pointed me to your great article on a "better moderation system for the social web". Thanks for that write-up!

I keep track of some notes in a #FediverseFutures topic on Federated Moderation, and will add a reference.

Ignis also dug up a great piece of writing by Christine Webber relating to #Spritely that you likely know about. It is in the same vein as yours, but has solution in the vNext of the #OCapN fedi.

@nicol @steve @deadsuperhero

Indeed. #Spritely is now developed within https://spritely.institute and preparing a standardization track of the "Object Capabilities Network" #OCapN

I mentioned on #Solid forum before that scope was unclear. On one hand providing "personal (linked) data vaults" as open standard, and on the other dedicated to The Next Web™ done the solid-way. The latter will have a huge technology adoption challenge.

Btw, that challenge also exists for Spritely. Long road ahead..

One of the things I already love about the #ocap / #ocapn #spritely community is the cross-generational diversity and support: it feels like people of all ages are welcome and respected for what they can bring.
