Evan Prodromou raises some very important points about what is missing currently in the Fediverse.

A lot of my friends can't leave Facebook because of groups. They have private groups for friends that are invisible to non-members, or semi public groups that non-members can see but not post in. And groups allow for self moderations. Those are all important features that the Fediverse is missing.

We've just published a new blog post about access control in decentralised systems!

https://p2panda.org/2025/07/28/access-control.html

The post includes details about the design and implementation of our new p2panda-auth crate, along with a discussion of some of the technical challenges that arise when trying to solve access control in a decentralised context.

A Lamport Clock diagram depicting a case of “mutual removal” involving a byzantine actor. Duck creates a new group and promotes Penguin. Penguin is a group manager and promotes Parrot to manager access level. Right afterward, Penguin changes her mind about Parrot and immediately demotes him. Parrot chooses to ignore Penguin’s demotion action. As a result, all of Parrot’s future actions are technically considered concurrent with Penguin’s demotion action. Parrot then goes on to demote all other group members, making him then single authority figure in the group. A small "devil" emoji next to Parrot marks him as a bad actor.
