I figure I could also answer every single twtxt like this, so that if the original gets edited, or deleted, at least I don’t sound foolish without knowing exactly what I replied to. 🤭

In-reply-to » @bender Re that broken thread (#bqor23a). Its the same one. My pod doesn't have the Root Twt: https://twtxt.net/twt/bqor23a => 404 Not Found.

Oh, and I think I said this before, but just in case, fuck Gemini. Hell, fuck Gopher too. Bring on telnet, and UCCP. 😈

Either way, it is the last time I do something like this. It turns on my fastidiousness, and kind of makes me feel uneasy. Will pause a bit longer from now on.

In-reply-to » Good writeup, @anth! I agree to most of your points.

On:

3.4 Multi-Line Twts: What exactly do you think are bad things with multi-lines?

OP doesn’t want/like markdown (or some of it). He believes multi-lines propitiates or, rather, encourages it.

In-reply-to » This is only first draft quality, but I made some notes on the #twtxt v2 proposal. http://a.9srv.net/b/2024-09-25

@anth@a.9srv.net you wrote:

“Edits and Deletions should go; see also Section 6. This is probably the worst example of this document pushing a text document to do more protocol-like things.”

Edit and deletions are precisely what brought us here. Currently, if one replies to a twtxt, and the original gets later edited, it breaks replies, and potentially drastically changes context.

In-reply-to » I’m not writing on 'twtxt' as much as I did in 2021-2022. While it has many advantages, I couldn't get my close circle to join.

I know what keeps me coming back to twtxt. It is the little group of people with whom I interact. I don’t need a big audience. More often than not I have nothing interesting to write, but I enjoy the small interactions: bugging prologic, reading abucci, browsing Lyse’s clicks. I enjoy movq commentaries (I imagine him as a professor of some kind, don’t ask me why).

Anyway… cheers!

@eapl.me@eapl.me are you sure X will bring joy, and value? Will you have clear conscience knowing you are contributing to such despicable platform? It is your decision to make, sure.

Joy starts at you, not the platform you use. When you get bored, disgusted, offended, and leave X, come and let us know. I will be interested to read all about your experiment then. For now, “¡hasta pronto!”

In-reply-to » @prologic Thanks for writing that up!

@falsifian@www.falsifian.org it would be easier if instead of a bulleted list you would have used a numbered one. That way it would be easier to refer to the specific miscellaneous comment.

I have little to contribute on this reply. On bullet two, he meant the original hash. On the last bullet, markdown is already part of it (after all, it is plain text). Yarn, being a web client/server, simply renders it.

In-reply-to » There are so many insects this year. Flies, ants, bugs. This isn’t normal. It’s almost like the ecosystem is getting out of balance.

Meanwhile in Florida we are having a very Autumnal Equinox day, with temperatures 10-14° cooler than normal. That, on its own, isn’t normal at all, but I taketh! 😂

In-reply-to » I finally decided to do a few experiments with yarnd to see how many things would break and how many assumptions there are around the idea of "Content Addressing"; here's where I'm at so far:

The three things we briefly talk about tonight (your morning), so that I don’t forget:

  1. Add the ability to allow feed address changes.
  2. Increase hash from 7 to 11, and/or change the hashing algorithm to something else, better.
  3. Implement movq (I simply can’t mention while on mobile) second option (the one you like, which maintains content addressing).

In-reply-to » I’m still more in favor of (replyto:…). It’s easier to implement and the whole edits-breaking-threads thing resolves itself in a “natural” way without the need to add stuff to the protocol.

I like the (replyto:...) as well. If the feed changes, well, it is the same as changing emails (and deleting the old one). No?

In-reply-to » Another thing: At the moment, anyone could claim that some feed contained a certain message which was then removed again by just creating the hash over the fake message in said feed and invented timestamp themselves. Nobody can ever verify that this was never the case in the first place and completely made up. So, our twt hashes have to be taken with a grain of salt.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org matter of fact, earlier you posted:

2024-09-19T20:20:00+02:00	I don't like Australians!

And then deleted it, fearing the Australian Mafia (which, as we know, is very powerful in Bavaria). But I got the hash for it, p5zdahq, and that timestamp has tt written all over it. That’s my proof! 😅😅😅
