'local-only' posting.

Pretty sure #amethyst victor was on to something like this(?)

Also known as notepad.exe

Haha Amethyst makes URL out of it

Yeah I'm not clicking on that ;)

I did. It doesn't work. I don't think there is exe top level domain. There was a huge outcry when they made zip the domain as it was suspected to be used for phishing and malware (because apps like Amethyst would change all the mentions of doommap.zip etc. into domains and someone could actually buy them)

(doommap dot zip also doesn't have a working page btw)

You can arguably do a local posting with citrine and amethyst. Last time I was out backpacking I tested this by making a Note posting it and it got loaded into my local citrine relay and then when I had cell service I was able to broadcast it to the rest of the network.

Unless I'm a dumbass and I'm totally misunderstanding what he's talking about.

I'm not sure I understand any of this

I guess when I think local posting, I think of posting to your local machine, I don't know enough about Blue Sky to know if they have different scopes of posting kind of like the Fediverse does.

Like, for instance, in the Fediverse, you had your local feed, which was your instance specific feed. There's the global feed, which is everyone that you're federated with, and then there's your home feed, which was everyone you followed.

I know you can kinda Host your own instance in blue sky, but as far as I was aware, even self-hosted instances had to connect back to the central server for pretty much everything.

Never really used it cos I've got that in built tor thing on.
