Yet, you are asking Yarn to change the format to work around how you want it display. 🤔

@thecanine@twtxt.net ahh, Google, what can I say?! It is amazing for me to think I used to have everything on Google, and now I have nothing. I mean, I have kept my Gmail, and Google Voice. The first I don’t use, but I have it since beta (was of the few first to be invited to it), so it has a “sentimental” value. The second is my catch-all-spam number.

The Fediverse Is Getting Its Own TikTok Competitor Called Loops
An anonymous reader quotes a report from TechCrunch: Similar to how Mastodon offers an open source, distributed version of X, the fediverse is getting its own TikTok competitor.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de sounds counterproductive. The power of open source is that it benefits from everyone’s participation. Why to develop in a close source setting then? Hmm.

Imposing a norm that you can't just use any ol' url, looking down on people with insufficently cool urls (as in "Cool URIs don't change" https://www.w3.org/Provider/Style/URI), puts up too much of a barrier to entry.

After the behaviour of a clearly very angry feed author over the past few days, I'm very tempted to give up on Twtxt and allow it to go back to being dead. What really is the point of building and supporting a way to exchange little pieces of text with one another in a completely decentralized way, if you're just going to keep bumping up against such hostility? I don't know why I do this anymore.

Because the formatting of your twtxt.txt file “headers” is wrong. Everything in your twtxt.txt in here:
# nick = sorenpeter
# description = visualist and livecoder
# url = http://darch.dk/twtxt.txt
# avatar = http://darch.dk/avatar.png
# profile = http://darch.dk/timeline
# webmention = http://darch.dk/timeline/webmention
# prev = archive twtxt-archive.txt
I think it is being ignored. It should be:
# nick = sorenpeter
# description = visualist and livecoder
# url = http://darch.dk/twtxt.txt
# avatar = http://darch.dk/avatar.png
# profile = http://darch.dk/timeline

@prologic With respect, a client can not identify whether an edit took place. Not unless that same client witnessed both the original twt and the edited one. This won't be the case if a person you're following is joining a thread started by people you aren't following after the first twt of that thread has already been modified. Or if you're knocked offline by a multi-hour power outage that spans then entire time window between a twt getting uploaded and modified.
