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.

    “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

    Who 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?

      spaces do not use relays. The sync protocol is pull from PDS. https://dholms.leaflet.pub/3mqtqvjidqs2p https://dholms.leaflet.pub/3mqtqvjidqs2p

        So it's a central server and doesn't benefit from being ATP as it can be anything you want.
