…with the exact same keys if that wasn’t obvious. I’m wondering if there is some data, or hash, or entropy of some sort that’s unique to the device and time of the signing that would make it seem like I signed the same message and posted it two different times, or if it will just look like both devices are “relaying” the same message.

The signature will be different every time you sign even if the event is exactly the same
I worried this would be the case. Would be easier if I could somehow force it to be the same.
My understanding is that randomness is used in the signature to prevent some kind of cryptographic attack
Relays don’t care. As long as they know 1 valid signature it does not matter
Oh I know they wouldn’t care, it was more about preventing from having duplicate posts filling up a feed and trying to prevent that, but having redundant signers available without needing a system of “this device already signed so don’t do anything” that has to get around the whole network… basically a pseudo consensus system among my own devices if they are all in a closed network so one doesn’t repeat the actions of another and flood the feed with the same stuff 2, 3 or more times
They will look as one post if they have the same created_at and data
The signature is different, but the id is the same. Clients and relays have to deduplicate anyway, so whichever signature ends up on the event, only one will ever be displayed or stored in any given place.
