Jesus, this thread is 10 pages of nothing but poasting by Darkstar and Begs. Say something of importance for once.
(verb) A blend of the words "post" and "poach". It is used in the context of securely releasing content to followers on a distributed network. This practice serves as a countermeasure against "internet poaching", the unauthorized removal of online content. Similar to "seeding", but specifically targeted towards persistent identities.
Usage: Person 1: Dude, did you see the Broncos game last night? I found it on YouTube, but it vanished before I could even watch it. Person 2: Yeah man, I was on Trill, that new social media app. Followed this guy "urbit-sportsjunky" who dropped a link. Person 1: A link? Like I said, that stuff gets taken down instantly. Person 2: Usually, yeah. But this guy, he poasted it. Followers got his message directly. All encrypted. Person 1: So a dead link? You can't watch it if it's yanked from YouTube or Twitch, right? Person 2: Nah, it's all different here. Once you're a follower, you're authenticated. You can download a copy directly from his computer to yours. Person 1: No way, straight up peer-to-peer video? Person 2: Yep. All you need is the bandwidth, dude.
Boastful post that make the poster feel better about themselves, but for whom other can't care less.
"Aren't you sick of Rick's poasts? That guy must have really low self-esteem"
