 This is a realtime stream of every single event on the network. It's dominated by `app.bsky.*` records because Bluesky is the most-used app, but you can filter it down to other record types. This retransmitter (called a "relay") is operated by Bluesky, but you don't have to depend on it. The [Blacksky community](https://github.com/blacksky-algorithms) runs [their own relay implementation](https://github.com/blacksky-algorithms/rsky/tree/main/rsky-relay) at `wss://atproto.africa`, which you can try [here](https://pdsls.dev/firehose?instance=wss%3A%2F%2Fatproto.africa). It doesn't matter which relay is used by which app--everyone "sees" the same web.
 
-Another important detail is that commits are cryptographically signed, which means that you don't need to trust a relay or a cache of network data. You can verify that the records haven't been tampered with, and each commit is legitimate.
+An important detail is that commits are cryptographically signed, which means that you don't need to trust a relay or a cache of network data. You can verify that the records haven't been tampered with, and each commit is legitimate. This is why "AT" in "AT Protocol" stands for "authenticated transfer". You're supposed to pronounce it like “@" ("at") though. Don't say "ay-tee" or you'll embarrass me!
 
 As time goes by, we'll see more infrastructure built around and for open social apps. [Graze](https://www.graze.social/) is letting users build their own algorithmic feeds, and [Slices](https://slices.network/) is an upcoming developer platform that does large-scale repository indexing for you.
