@nexeq there's a couple of ways to look at this. first your feed is what you make it. based on whom you follow. there's also this concept which i don't think has been officially named, but the idea is the a timeline such as in a timeseries moves along as life does. thus what you see today may not be here next week
twtxt and client yarnd would have to be redesigned from the ground up.now that being said, let's say there's a post that turns into a yarn and people respond to it frequently it may be more prevalent and show up in your feed if you are indeed engaged in said yarn.
i hope this makes some sense. at first i didn't understand it until i read the techspec and tore apart the client code then it was a
this is brilliant moment.there's quite a bit of philosophical thought that goes into how things work here. this is not twitter, and that's by design.
I will reiterate that many of the design decisions made are in fact quite deliberate and philosophical in nature and learn towards "how do we make a better more human social media" and "how do we make it as real and down to earth" as possible, "more human" friendly.

there's an ancillary note to take into consideration. post-arpa days
(1987..1994) if one wanted, one could reach the end of the internet. in those days backhauls were t1 and the data contained within the internet could be held on a hard drive.twtxt/yarn in general allows me to reach the end. at least for the day. there's no infinite feeds to overwhelm the visitor which in my view is quite nice compared to the endless pit that is the current state of the web.
we are very very small. but we are profoundly capable of very very big things. --hawking
Not only should there be an end, the "system" should forget as we "humans" do. Yes we will bring in builtin search to
yarnd so you _can_ search the archives if you want to, but that _should_ be your choice to do so, sort of like:> Hmm, let me think about that for a minute and try to remember!

- It should be hard to abuse
- no one person's opinion is more important than another (top heavy posters, popular people, people in so-called "positions of power", etc)
- it should be your choice to post an opinions or share an idea or thought (not the other way around)

- it should be decentralised
- it should be easily self-hostable
- it should be easy to operate
- it should be easy to use
and above all:
- there shall never be any tracking of user data or user behaviour
- there shall be no advertising whatsoever
- there shall be no corporate or political interests or influence
Yarn.social should remain free (as in beer), open source, open and transparent.
I _hope_ it remains this way as we continue to grow! 🤞
