After the behaviour of a clearly very angry feed author over the past few days, I'm very tempted to give up on Twtxt and allow it to go back to being dead. What really is the point of building and supporting a way to exchange little pieces of text with one another in a completely decentralized way, if you're just going to keep bumping up against such hostility? I don't know why I do this anymore.

@prologic don’t let anyone bum you out, mate. We take corrective action, and move on.
I mean, you will quit twtxt when you please, but not because of some irrelevant feed. Won’t you agree?
@bender Agreed. I just find it an abhorrent that certain folks just don't even bother to spend the few mins that it takes to reach out. Compares to hours of their time to cause havoc and mischief. Seriously wut da fuq?! 🤦♂️

@prologic I don’t understand that behavior either, but I’m afraid stuff like that is always going to happen. (I think it already happened once in the past?) As long as we have an easy way to ignore such a feed and remove it from our databases, we should be fine. 🤔

@movq you are absolutely right! And it did happen once more in the past as well. The difficulty about this particular new behavior though is that I've also had to blacklist it and remove it from the search engine and crawler for obvious reasons.

@prologic Oh, yeah, it certainly is more work for you than it is for me. 🫤

@movq Only because I build and maintain additional services right? 🤔

That's very sad... Btw twtxt is more hardly to spam because of bad discovery. So you can only spam to your followers. Did you really want abandon best method of microblogging?
