Test Feed

That handle is a name, not a hash — short enough to say out loud. Your reader looks it up on this domain and then checks the identity below for itself, so the name is a convenience and never the proof.

The full address, which also records where you started:

feed://bagaaiera2jf7ik5cciu2bxeys3malrc6iqkbtsk45gyvr4hv66h5sytbql3a?seq=2&root=c5275ca80b229d9934ff6e16a3b4b7e64d89e8d0aa2154c9b3a6606b9abf6c09&web=https%3A%2F%2Ften-minute-test.pages.dev%2F

It records that you started here, at post 2. If the address ever serves an older copy of this publication than the one you were given, your reader will say so instead of quietly showing you less.

Underneath that address, this publication is one permanent identity: feed://bagaaiera2jf7ik5cciu2bxeys3malrc6iqkbtsk45gyvr4hv66h5sytbql3a — a hash of its own first record, not a domain name. It does not change if this page moves to a different address.

Every post here is signed by this publication's own key, so a Wirepost reader can tell you it really came from here and that nothing has been altered since. That proves origin, not truth: a signature says who wrote something, and it says nothing about whether they were right.

Once you have followed this publication your reader remembers where it got to, and will tell you if the history it is offered later contradicts what it already has. The first time you subscribe there is nothing to compare against yet.

Atom and RSS carry the posts, but not the signatures — an ordinary feed reader has no way to check who wrote them.
