Haha. I actually made a Mastodon account. Didn’t take long until I got my first “spam follower”: A bot that follows everyone in an effort to gain attention. Yeah. The crux of large social media networks … (Sooner or later, the same thing will happen with twtxt, though.)

@vain Hmmm 🤔 It might be a bit harder with Twtxt’s pull model though?

@prologic Yeah, a bit. But nothing’s stopping people from spamming my twtxt.txt file with spammy user agents. If someone can reach me, there will be spam. It’s inevitable. 🤣 (Just much more unlikely if twtxt stays niche and tiny.)

@vain This is true. Although since fetching a text/plain resource over web protocols is pretty damn "lightweight" as it gets, I don't have a problem with that per se. I'm still running all of twtxt.net twt.social jointwt.org (_amongst other proejcts_) all on my home infra. But the technical scale aspects are not the problem for me, it's the human social scale. I don't believe the later is "scalable" at all. Social Media _should_ remain small and controllable. That's not to say however that there can't be a global decentralised and distributed network of Twtxt feeds.
