:: on the Nostr network the events are the only kind of object on it. Events have a "kind" that indicates the type of event, such as a text note or metadata. The "created_at" property indicates when the event was created and the "content" property contains the text of the event. Some common tags, such as "p" to mention a public key and "e" to refer to another event, are used in many events. New event types can be created as needed to meet the needs of specific clients and ensure backward compatibility with existing clients.:: [Sat 06 May 2023 10:28:08 AM CEST]
:: Bluesky is launching a sandbox environment to test its federated networking model, the AT Protocol, which is designed to enable public conversations on a global social network. The protocol is made up of personal data servers (PDS), big graph services (BGS), and app views, and the federation architecture enables anyone to host a BGS. The system's design prioritizes big-world indexing over small world networking, which reduces the load on PDSs, improves content discoverability, and enhances the network experience. The proposed networking methodology is not prescriptive and is designed to work both ways. Bluesky will provide easy-to-follow instructions when the sandbox environment is launched publicly.:: [Sat 06 May 2023 10:17:53 AM CEST]
