@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.

How in the hell did you even reply to this in the first place?=

@prologic yes, it has gotten kind of messy. Someone deleted/edited. That’s the only explanation.

@bender Hmm I _think_ I know why...


2024-09-27T01:28:53+00:00	(#bqor23a) @<cuaxolotl https://sunshinegardens.org/~xj9/twtxt/tw.txt> Wait, what!? We're dropping Gemini support!?


From @aelaraji's feed. I think @cuaxolotl doesn't do threading properly, I've run into this once before. I'm not sure what client they use? πŸ€”

Yup confirmed!

@cuaxolotl has changed the url of their feed (_yet again_) and changed every hash in their feed.

@antonio is right to call this out. We should drop the reliance on the # url metadata field and in fact we should probably just drop this entirely from the spec and go with # uuid as the basis of a feed's identity.

Even though this happens very rarely (_feeds moving to new locations_) it more frequently happens with folks that try to serve their feed from Gopher, HTTP and Gemini.

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.

This is confirmed to be the case:


$ for url in gemini://sunshinegardens.org/~xjix/twtxt/tw.txt https://sunshinegardens.org/~xjix/twtxt/tw.txt //sunshinegardens.org/~xjix/twtxt/tw.txt; do yarnc hash -t '2024-09-26T11:09:28-07:00' -u "$url" "if twtxt 2 is dropping gemini support, i will probably move on and spend more time on my gemini social zine protocol instead. i think the direction of the protocol is probably fine, but for me web is a tier 2 publishing channel. if the choice is between gemini and http i'm always going to pick gemini. its been a fun ride, but i guess this is where i get off."; done

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