New blog post! "A Social Protocols OS" — I've been connecting a lot of long-running threads in my head recently around organizations, collaboration, open source, and more recently, protocols, inspired by the Summer of Protocols that's spinning up soon.

Ok, say with this and read it just now. Group formation and facilitation has a lot of history … and very little tooling to support it: it’s mostly training and practice. 

See Social Roots https://socialroots.io for one example of rebooting email lists, with a focus on calm tech.

Of the list of protocols you mentioned, Bluesky is most designed with data schema primitives. It’s also the only one that doesn’t use a blockchain, so that label felt off for me ;)

I’d add Open Collective as a financial primitive that can be plugged into any group formation. It’s the shared expense treasurer in a box on the fiat side of the world. 

It’s still not super well known, but it has a strong stack and keeps growing. 

Like many systems, needs better remix APIs.
