Before you rely on it
Where your things live
ohm keeps a working copy of your posts, private ones included, so that you and your agent can work from anywhere. Your originals live with you.
Three places
| What is there | Whose it is | |
|---|---|---|
| Your account on the open network | Your public posts, and your identity | Yours. It can be hosted by ohm, by Bluesky, or on a server you run, and it can be moved |
| Your folder | Every post that is not public, as Markdown files | Yours, on your machine or in your own cloud storage |
| Your workspace on ohm | A working copy of all of it | ohm holds it for you |
By who can see the post
| The original | ohm's working copy | Who ohm shows it to | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Public | Your account, in the open | Yes | Everyone |
| Friends | Your folder, once connected | Yes | You, and your friends |
| Private | Your folder, once connected | Yes | Only you |
What ohm can read
Everything in your workspace, private posts included. An editor and an agent need the whole of your work to be useful, so ohm holds all of it.
- ohm shows your private posts to nobody.
- ohm does not use your private posts to match you with other people.
- A private post is never written to your account on the open network. Everything there can be read by anyone.
The promise is not that ohm cannot read your posts. It is that nothing depends on ohm keeping them.
With and without a folder
With a folder connected, deleting ohm's copy loses nothing. Until you connect one, ohm holds the only copy of your private and friends-only posts. Sync with a folder
Your identity
Your identity is your own. It is an AT Protocol account, and its name can be your domain. Your follows are kept there too. Sign in
