in reply to
AT protocol's method of federation isn't server-to-server.
It's personal-data-server (PDS) to big graph service (BGS) to labeler / app view / feed gen.
And I imagine the BGS *might* federate with other BGS.
Yeah, not only is this complicated, the BGS could prove problematic.

1. On a technical level, prioritizing big-world indexing over small world networking has multiple benefits. It significantly reduces the load on PDSs, making it easier to self-host — you could easily run your own server. It improves discoverability of content outside of your immediate neighbors — people want to use social media to see content from outside of their network. It improves the quality of experience for everyone in the network — fewer dropped messages or out-of-sync metrics. Given all that, our proposed methodology here of networking through BGSs instead of server-to-server isn’t prescriptive. The protocol is actually explicitly designed to work both ways.
