This is an interesting start. I have many questions though:

1. Why no public forum or (heavens forfend) a standards body community group, for the spec?

2. For the data model, why not use the excellent ActivityStreams2? The actual data model that contains the posts etc (https://atproto.com/lexicons/bsky-app) is a serious step backwards from the event-log architecture of AS2.

3. Why reinvent gRPC/JSON-RPC? Seriously, of /all/ the things to reinvent, why RPC?

4. I wonder what the team will do for authentication and authorization? Will they go the ACL route? (In which case, are they going to include Solid-style client identity, in the ACLs?) Will they go the capabilities route? (UCANs / zCaps). This is the genuine hard part.
