@Sumomo What client are you using btw? πŸ€” Does it support threads, and other v2 specs? πŸ€”

@arg You actually can, but we highly discourage it and I haven't really built "Edit" / "Delete" functionality in the Twtxt App that I know you're using πŸ˜… Twtxt being purely decentralised, meaning that there are absolutely zero decentralised, with the exception of the twtpub.com service you're using to reduce as much friction as possible for newcomers to try things, makes supporting threads a bit of a controversial topic πŸ˜† -- In the end we are sticking with the Hash v2 extension, making threads use content addressing, so even if you did delete/edit a Twt, you have to be carefuly it hasn't already been replied to in the ecosystem 🀣

but yes, however you cannot currently add it or delete post via the app as I haven't really built that feature at the moment you technically can do it, but you do run into some challenges with breaking threads if you've already published something and then go back and edit it so we generally advise not to do that too much if you can help it

@david heads up πŸ‘‹ that verification code never reached you β€” outbound email was broken on my end (my mail relay was rejecting twtxt.net senders πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ). Fixed + deployed now πŸ₯³ give the hosted feed another go, it'll land this time 🀞

@itsericwoodward Wrote it up πŸ‘Œ Single-user twtd API is now documented (plain JSON, one bearer token) β€” posting, uploads, profile, followers + WebFinger: https://git.mills.io/yarnsocial/twtd/src/branch/main/API.md πŸŽ‰ Shout if anything's unclear for TwtKpr πŸ™

twtpub.com is just the default instance tho β€” it's a multi-tenant twtd, AGPLv3. Run your own and I'll list it in the app's picker so folks choose where to land πŸ€— keeps it decentralised + spreads the load. Docs β†’ https://git.mills.io/yarnsocial/twtd

Hmmm the Twtxt App isn't grouping threads correctly 🧐

Opinion / Question time...

Do you think Mu (Β΅)'s native compiler and therefore emitted machine code "runtime" (which obviously adds a bit of weight to the resulting binary, and runtime overheads) needs to support "runtime stack traces", or would it be enough to only support that in the bytecode VM interpreter for debuggability / quick feedback loops and instead just rely on flat (no stacktraces) errors in natively built compiled executables?

So in effect:

Stack Traces:

  • Bytecode VM Interpreter: βœ…
  • Native Code Executables: ❌

When I try to login to PayPal I now see:

Please enable JS and disable any ad blocker

Here's the thing. PayPal takes fees from transactions and payments received and sent.

I have very right not have ads shoved in my face for something that isn't actually free in the first place and costs money to use. If PayPal would like to continue to piss off folks me like, then I'll happily close my PayPal account and go somewhere else that doesn't shove ads in my face and consume 30-40% of my Internet bandwidth on useless garbage/crap.

TNO Threading (draft):
Each origin feed numbers new threads (tno:N). Replies carry both (tno:N) and (ofeed:<origin-url>). Thread identity = (ofeed, tno).

  • Roots: (tno:N) (implicit ofeed=self).
  • Replies: (tno:N) (ofeed:<url>).
  • Clients: increment tno locally for new threads, copy tags on reply.
  • Subjects optional, not required.

@itsericwoodward Also just a heads up, GIF(s) aren't supproted as an Avatar type on yarnd (what runs twtxt.net). I'd change this to something that's more supproted like PNG, JPEG, etc.

After many weeks and probably at least a hundred hours of research, discussions and in-person viewing, I think I've finally come up with my Final Choices (shortlist) of a Hybrid Camper / Caravan that I think will suit my family and that I'll enjoy (far less work for me to setup and teardown). The one at the top of the list I'm leaning towards os the SWAG SCT16 Family 4B #Camping #Campers

I’m thinking of building a hardened peering protocol for Yarn.social’s yarnd: pods establish cryptographic identities, exchange signed /info and /twt payloads with signature verification, ensuring authenticity, integrity, and spoof-proof identity validation across the distributed network.

I asked ChatGPT what it knows about Twtxt πŸ˜‚ And surprisingly it's rather accurate:

Twtxt is a minimalist, decentralized microblogging format introduced by John Downey in 2016. It uses plain text files served over HTTPβ€”no accounts, databases, or APIs. In 2020, James Mills (@prologic) launched Yarn.social, an extended, federated implementation with user discovery, threads, mentions, and a full web UI. Both share the same .twtxt.txt format but differ in complexity and social features.
