So your PDS is a central server? Who would I ask for my private space records but myself?
Think less "private" and more "protected." Like Patreon subscriber perks, paywalled content, or just someone who only wants certain people to see what they post.
I think they are asking how it actually works not for product marketing

A server protocol. Like HTTP.
Sure they are linked by this general category of app layer service protocols, but they are different. ATProto afaik is a bit like activitypub, in which you define a protocol on top of the state representation in a way you can transfer it reliably across instantes that implement them. It's like http in which you can achieve the same using http, but http isn't prescriptive about any such behaviours, which these protoco…

REST is a set of conventions for HTTP
So is this now just, like, a server?

ATProto is basically old web where you host your own content and advertise an RSS feed except there are aggregators that make everyone’s feed into one big firehouse that you can filter down to content you want to follow, and then view the content with whatever client you want (AppViews which are also servers but they can be pointed to a feed made up of others servers, like a Web Ring!) I could hate on them for reinve…
