Dang, I honestly have no idea what any of this means.
Eurosky is running a relay, a piece of infrastructure in the atproto/bluesky network.
Ah, thanks for that! Would it be similar to hosting an instance?
not at all: atproto works very differently. fedi instances "do it all", on atproto pds-es hold content, relays discover and aggregate, appviews show stuff. iirc relays can also implement moderation (such as blocks or bans). right now to my knowledge the only relays are bluesky's and blacksky's (because hosting a relay is very resource intensive)
Thanks, I really appreciate the insight!
