No. Data is stored on your PDS and no one else can shut it down, there is no central server. The only difference from public atproto is when you ask someone else PDS for records in a space you need a token signed by the space authority to show that you have permission to read them.
- pocksuppet 2mo agoSo your PDS is a central server? Who would I ask for my private space records but myself?
- oddevan 2mo agoThink less "private" and more "protected." Like Patreon subscriber perks, paywalled content, or just someone who only wants certain people to see what they post.
- LowTechHN 2mo ago“Protected” is the same thing at the technical level. Both would 401 or 403 to the unauthorized user. I think they are asking how it actually works not for product marketing
- inigyou 2mo agoWho would you ask besides the author's PDS though? Would every relay have a cached copy of all private data, but only give it out after checking auth? That's not a very safe design - what if my relay doesn't check?
