Personal Data Server

Personal Data Server is abbreviated as PDS. The more generic Personal Data Store is a non-protocol specific label for the concept of people owning their own data.

In ATProtocol, the PDS is where user auth and data is stored. You can use the atproto-browser to see what is stored for a user, as well as which PDS server they are on.

The ATProto Community Wiki has a page of PDS implementations.
