- Feeds - a user's stream of signed messages. Also called a log.
- Gossip - a P2P networking technique where peers connect randomly to each other and ask for new updates.
- Pub Servers - SSB peers which run on public IPs, and provide connectivity and hosting for users on private IPs. Pubs are not privileged, and do not hold special authority in the network. They are not hosts.
