Actually on second thoughts... I _think_ the "following" system is fine the way it is. A mapping of alias to url. I'm now following @eldersnake from three different sources 🤣

I'm basically doing it like this:\n\n
\n$ curl -qso - https://twtxt.net/~prologic/twtxt.txt | grep '^# follow.*eldersnake'\n# follow = eldersnake@twtxt.net https://twtxt.net/user/eldersnake/twtxt.txt\n# follow = eldersnake@we.loveprivacy.club https://we.loveprivacy.club/user/eldersnake/twtxt.txt\n# follow = eldersnake@yarn.andrewjvpowell.com https://yarn.andrewjvpowell.com/user/eldersnake/twtxt.txt\n
\n\nSo I _think_ just prompting the user to rename a conflicting feed to another alias is probably fine....

In the meantime I can automatically create the keys for aliases to be @nick@domain so there is less chance of collision in the first place, improving the overall user experience.

I like it! Less work to refactor, I'm sure, and also Just Works. As you say, a prompt or something at least is probably all that is needed.
@eldersnake Yup ☺️
