I wonder if email would be a reasonable way to enable interaction on twtxt... something like publishing an email address for replies in the preamble of your feed, then like twtxt the rest is up to you, but I could imagine a simple moderation queue that could be checked periodically allowing the admin to move approved comments into some public space... I keep thinking I'll add activitypub comments to my site but it seems more complex than I care for. Ironically because of available tooling email actually feels simpler for this... of course, there is spam...
@hecanjog we actually use email to power direct messaging here on twtxt.net and other pods

There’s a 4th @hecanjog @thewismit who started the Conv 🤣 \n\nThis edge case (well not really) is something that’s been playing on my mind since we now have way more pods! 😂

@prologic thanks. Not sure I like having to follow every person just to feed my curiosity.
@thewismit Yes I tend to agree... Well work something out hopefully 👌

@prologic @thewismit so if DM is just email, any way to integrate it with delta.chat or use it as a client for the DM?

@darch @thewismit There is; but _honestly_ I'm still working on it. THere is a built-in POP3 and SMTP service that listens on port 8110 and 8025 respectively configured via --pop3-bind and --smtp-bind. It is authenticated via your Pod's credentials. You are welcome to try it on your own pod, but so far I haven't been able to get it up and running on twtxt.net (_my pod_) yet as I haven't had any success with TCP Load Balancing with SNI and Traefik :/
