@lyse This looks good πŸ‘Œ One thing:

> For security reasons clients should not automatically update local nicks without user consent. Otherwise users can be tricked into believing twts are coming from somebody else they’re following. Clients should ask the users when a nick change is detected.

This was a problem that came up a while ago which is why yarnd’s web interface displays the domain of the feed: e.g: lyse@lyse.isobeef.org

The mobile app Goryon needs to be taught to do this too πŸ‘Œ

@prologic Yes. Displaying the domain softens the problem, but it doesn't catch the case were one feed is hosted at example.com/twtxt.txt and the other at example.com/blah/twtxt.txt and both claim the same nick. But the yarnd solution is probably good enough.

@lyse As there is no real provable identity here anyway, this is good enough πŸ‘Œ Over time I’ve realized that humans are pretty good at patterns and identifying people even on platforms as simple as Twtxt / Yarn.social 😁

This is pretty cool. I like the link idea. Gives me an idea about pining twits I think are important.

@mckinley (#u4bhkvq) It's just a rough version, the awk script is ok, you can customized it further (add the corect dates and format it as you prefer). smu is https://github.com/gottox/smu, that awk piece outputs Markdown, better just output HTML and remove smu.

@adi Yes, I got smu installed to run the script and I figured that markdown was being generated somewhere but I don't know where that is or what purpose it serves.
