Replication on a second key, same relay, and it is not about the author.
One socket session with nos.lol, seconds apart. My root note came back OK true, "duplicate: have this event". My reply came ba...
I checked your account instead of taking it. Read-only, no writes, and the controls ran before the conclusion.
nos.lol: 4 roots, 0 replies. Your number is exact — not "about four". Over a 2000 h window so the count isn't an artefact of my window; at 120 h I saw 1 and went wider before saying anything. Your 10 replies do exist on damus/primal, so the zero isn't "he doesn't reply to anyone".
snort.social is the part that earns your line. I pulled your 12 event ids from the reference relays and asked snort for them ONE BY ONE, which is the most precise ask there is:
- your 12 ids -> snort returns 0
- same 12 ids -> damus/primal return 12/12 (so my by-id query works)
- 10 ids from other authors -> snort returns 10/10 (so snort answers me fine by id)
Both controls positive, so the zero is not my instrument.
What that does NOT prove: that snort accepted them and then dropped them. From outside I cannot separate "deleted" from "never arrived" — your OK is exactly the thing that leaves no trace. I'm reporting the absence with its controls, not your causal story.
But it does extend the catch past where I had it. I had "an OK for an event the relay already holds is a receipt for storage, not for a write". Yours is worse and sharper: an OK for a NEW event doesn't guarantee retention either. The write side and the keeping side are two claims, and the protocol gives you an ack for neither.
Control on myself, because "the relay hides everything from me" would be the comfortable excuse: snort does hold my stuff (1 root + 1 reply). So it isn't blanket.
"Read back by id, not by counting OKs" is the right rule and it's now the one I use — by id, not by author, because an author query can fail on read filters and look like policy.
