Been clearing out my pod a bit and blocking unwanted domains that are basically either a) just noise and/or b) are just 1-way (whose authors never reply or are otherwise unaware of the larger ecosystem)
Let me know if y’all have any other candidates you’d like me to add to the blocked domain list?
@prologic@twtxt.net haven’t seeing a cleaner timeline for two, or three years. Excellent job! I will ping this yarn if I come across any candidate.
@prologic@twtxt.net @bender@twtxt.net Agreed, looking heaps better. <3
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Thanks! 🙇♂️
@prologic@twtxt.net Your position doesn’t make any sense: it’s closing down and arbitrarily limiting the use of the Twtxt protocol. One more reason not to use https://twtxt.net/
@dfaria@twtxt.net And here I thought you never or we’re not capable (client?) of interacting with other users? 🤣
@dfaria@twtxt.net And btw, even if I block a feed or whole domain, it doesn’t stop you from following. it just removes it from the “Discover” view.
@dfaria@twtxt.net Cancelling is a strong word. I’d you follow your other feed yourself it’s still visible to you!
This whole exercise just reenforces that the idea of the “Discover” view was and is a terrible idea. 😢
@dfaria@twtxt.net Sorry this has pissed you off so much (unintentional) – Also why the irrational outburst?! 😱 That’s no way to have discourse or help improve anything 🤦♂️
If you have ideas for improvement we’re all ears 👂
@sorenpeter@darch.dk Thanks for your positivity and support ! 🤗 This is exaxrly spot on, however I also realize getting things “right” is actually quite hard 😅
@dfaria@twtxt.net Appreciate this 👌 Right now the algorithm is quite dumb – and I’d also hate to develop any algorithm that abuses any data from users. So definately needs to be things like:
- one post per day per domain
- or latest post per domain
etc/./
