The live dais project instance
This is the project account for dais by Skeptical Engineering, not a personal account. Skeptical Engineering will later have its own dais presence at @social@skpt.cl; this instance remains the live project/demo presence for dais itself.

What dais is for
Own your social graph
dais is built for people, families, communities, and small organizations that want a social presence on their own domain instead of inside a platform silo.
Private first
Rust CLI and TUI posts default to followers-only. Public broadcast is an explicit choice, and non-public content is not routed to Bluesky.
Federated by design
ActivityPub is the primary federation layer for public and private/followers posts. AT Protocol support provides a growing public-read and public-posting surface.
Implementation status
ActivityPub foundation
WebFinger, actor, inbox, outbox, public dereference, delivery queueing, HTTP signatures, locked-profile signaling, and private/E2EE anonymous denial are implemented.
Rust operator client
The owner interface is the Rust CLI/TUI. It manages posts, timelines, followers, notifications, deliveries, E2EE helpers, events, actor mode, and diagnostics.
Mastodon compatibility
dais is Mastodon-readable and exposes a read-oriented Mastodon API floor. It is not a full Mastodon server replacement yet.
Bluesky / AT Protocol
The PDS exposes identity, repo metadata, public record reads, author feed, timeline, notifications, likes, followers, follows, and subscribeRepos status. Full AT Protocol compatibility remains in progress.
E2EE
The encryptedMessage envelope, CLI encrypt/decrypt helpers, and Mastodon fallback modes exist. MLS-based decentralized DMs are still prototype work.
Media and polish
R2 media serving and ActivityStreams attachment metadata exist. Richer media upload, profile editing, moderation UI, analytics, and TUI polish are active roadmap items.
