@prologic Cool! Now what might be useful is to take all the cool things Yarn does and spec them out into a full protocol. This is also where we might get into extending beyond what Twtxt can offer and into a yarn-specific spec.

@prologic I know yarn is culturally a slower place than most mainstream social, but I would like to enable servers to somewhat "broadcast" new events on some subscribable endpoint. Since much of the network relies on indexers, this would help the indexers get new posts more immediately, rather than having to schedule their crawls. That's just one idea to start with
