@evan yeah. on browserpub I can say "hey help me take a look at these particular messages I know about". This observatory will surface information about stuff floating around the fedi that I don't even know about. For example I am already learning about server software I've never even heard of, and I would not have put that into browser.pub because I wouldn't have known it existed

@darius Ah, OK, interesting. Where does your network tap plug in?

@evan still figuring it out. Right now I am subscribing to a public relay as that is the most software-neutral source I could think of, but I am looking at other ingestion methods too. Importantly I want to ingest AP only... I'm not going to hit proprietary API endpoints like most scrapers do
