@prologic@twtxt.net I noticed that the hash also shows (as in clearly visible) on the “in-reply-to”. That doesn’t happen with any other client—well, at least not with Yarn, nor jenny.

@prologic@twtxt.net show, or it didn’t happen. 😜

@eapl.me@eapl.me other than getting a pseudo tally, what else do you aim to accomplish from this? That is, what is the tangible expectation?

@prologic@twtxt.net what did you come up with, to accomplish it?

@eapl.me@eapl.me you wrote, partially:

“I’d like to change that. It’s by nerds/hackers, for nerds/hackers and friends of these.”

I wish you well, and good luck! 😅

@andros@twtxt.andros.dev and how will that help “discover people”? I am missing something, I am sure, as I don’t understand.

Twtxt was made for nerds, by nerds. So one would script a way to often (and/or ongoing) check your web server logs for new mentions, “follows”, etc.

@doesnm@doesnm.p.psf.lt why? The Gemini protocol is an obscure, niche, good-for-nothing (yeah, I am trolling) protocol. Search for “Gemini”, and tell me in which page, on your search engine of choice, you see it being referred as a protocol.

@xuu@txt.sour.is it is called “reaffirmation”. It is a lesser known feature that activates randomly to make sure you get the gist on things that matter. 😅

Did you demoed Yarn? When it comes to less friction nothing can beat a web browser!

@prologic@twtxt.net Gemini has an answer for you:

This is a conversation thread from a twtxt network, detailing a user’s (movq) frustration with the Mastodon “export data” feature and their consideration of self-hosting a fediverse alternative. Here’s a summary:

• movq’s initial issue:
  
  • movq is concerned about the volatility of their data on their current Mastodon instance due to a broken “export data” feature.
    
  • They contacted the admins, but the issue remains unresolved.
    
  • This led them to contemplate self-hosting.
    
• Alternative fediverse software suggestions:
  
  • kat suggests gotosocial as a lightweight alternative to Mastodon.
    
  • movq agrees, and also mentions snac as a potential option.
    
• movq’s change of heart:
  
  • movq ultimately decides that self-hosting any fediverse software, besides twtxt, is too much effort.
    
• Resolution and compromise:
  
  • The Mastodon admins attribute the export failure to the size of movq’s account.
    
  • movq decides to set their Mastodon account to auto-delete posts after approximately 180 days to manage data size.
    
  • Movq also mentions that they use auto-expiring links on twtxt to reduce data storage.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de so glad I don’t use Firefox! And now I will pretend I haven’t seeing your screenshot. Hahahahaha!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I don’t see the utility, nor artistry in it, but if it works for you, 🥳! 😅

@movq@www.uninformativ.de LOLZ! 🤣

@movq@www.uninformativ.de something’s broken. On Yarn, at least, I see this twtxt of yours leafless. Same for Andros reply at https://twtxt.net/twt/eqkksua.
