@prologic Yeah, that thing with (#hash;#originalHash) would also work.
Maybe I’m being a bit too purist/minimalistic here. As I said before (in one of the 1372739 posts on this topic – or maybe I didn’t even send that twt, I don’t remember 😅), I never really liked hashes to begin with. They aren’t super hard to implement but they are kind of against the beauty of the original twtxt – because you *need* special client support for them. It’s not something that you could write manually in your twtxt.txt file. With @sorenpeter’s proposal, though, that would be possible.
I don’t know … maybe it’s just me. 🥴
I’m also being a bit selfish, to be honest: Implementing (#hash;#originalHash) in jenny *for editing your own feed* would not be a no-brainer. (Editing is already kind of unsupported, actually.) It wouldn’t be a problem to implement it for fetching other people’s feeds, though.

Tangentially related, I was a bit disappointed to learn that the twt subject extension is now never used except with hashes. Manually-written subjects sounded so beautifully ad-hoc and organic as a way to disambiguate replies. Maybe I'll try it some time just for fun.
