@darch Nah, that's okay 😀 Competition in any space is a "good" thing! 👍 micro.sub btw is the "subscription" protocol to micro.pub -- I have _some_ issues with micro.pub / micro.sub though, namely that it is a little more complicated to implement against and use (_just look at any code that uses these protocols, not as bad as ActivityPub though_) and it supports a "bit too much" IHMO. Simplicity has always been one of our goals, in that you can join and participate in (_well let's start using the new name_) Yarn.social by simply hosting a couple of files

twtxt/Yarn.social is definitely the best Indieweb-ish thing I've come across. Even Webmentions looked a little complicated to self implement, although I suspect part of that is the documentation is all over the place (and maybe part of it is me, who knows)

@eldersnake I actually agree with you franky. Having also implemented WebMentions in twtd (_we haven't renamed the binary yet!_) it _was_ quite difficult to build and implement properly. We do support it though, although I'm not 100% sure it still works. It supports outbound WebMentions(s) as well as inbound to Twt(s) (_we'll be calling them Yarns right? 🤣_). So it was possible to -mention someone cross-pod without having to follow them and it would trigger a notif. But OTOH it hasn't really proved all that useful really IHMO..._

I _can_ safe with a high degree of confidence that implementing and supporting WebMentions _really_ hasn't been all that useful here, as seen by @twtxt 's own feed where there are 17 sucb MENTION(s) and over 1.7k FOLLOW(s) events. So 🤷♂️
