@sorenpeter 's webmentions uses this trick: http://darch.dk/mentions-twtxt
@anth that doesn't work because you need encode that URL, like so http://a.9srv.net/tw.txt#:~:text=2024%2D10%2D08-,2024%2D10%2D23T18%3A59%3A49%2D07%3A00

@doesnm like OP, that will not work, as it has wrong/incomplete information.
Well, as for a new UUID it's a thought to combine the timestamp+username or timestamp+url to create a unique id. In this scenario I think the first would probably be favourable. This way if someone decides to use a different url (most likely they will stick to their nickname) UUID's will still hold up.

Adding to that, we could implement a version variable in the meta, adapt code to either read the old or new format UUID, so older threads won't break.
@Codebuzz I really like this idea of just using the Feed's # nick as a sort of "identifier". This gets us out of this mess of when feeds move locations or authors decide to host on 3 or 4 different protocols 🤣 Downside? Something picks the same nick? (_they'll still hash differently, so that's fine_).

@prologic yeah short Nick is going to be unique enough. There is always olong Nick that adds the domain for differentiation.
