@gb, when I (as @kas_ssblist) visit http://ssblist.com/#private, this is what I see:

Since the very first post from @kas_ssblist happened less than 24 hours ago, and since @kas_ssblist has never interacted with the accounts mentioned above, he shouldn't be able to read those messages, should he?

(@GM is pointing at @8WbRNFD… and @G is pointing at @PveBwM2….)

@gb,

it communicates with ssb at large

Thanks!

I have been on SSB for nearly two years, so I shouldn't have been surprised by this, yet I was: Last night, before I asked if #ssblist was communicating with a local sbot, I rang in my name – @kas_ssblist – in the web interface, but even after a while I didn't see the change broadcast to the Scuttleverse (and, as mentioned elsewhere, my day-to-day account has hops=7 so I see a lot of posts even if I am not directly connected to people), which was why I posted my question. It was not until @kas followed @kas_ssblist that I saw the change here.

Perhaps it will be prudent to let people who are using the webinterface know that their posts will be invisible until somebody is following them?
