@bender TBH It was quite late (where I am) when I wrote that twt, way past 2 AM ... 😅
But there wasn't much activity during the day either. It got me wondering if there was something wrong with my cron task for fetching your feeds.

Maybe it's just the weekends. + there isn't much bloat content around this space as on the usual platforms anyway.

@prologic It’s always been super niche, but I think in the age of Twitter more people have been looking for free/libre alternatives than these days, because Mastodon is a big thing now and has mostly replaced Twitter. Mastodon is free/libre, lots of instances, lots of communities. I have a feeling that Yarn/twtxt is mostly appealing to us nerds and minimalists.

I still love the core ideas of twtxt. It’s great for hardcore minimalists. Yarn.social is great for people willing to run a server daemon. I still think all of this is a good thing.

We have certainly lost lots of momentum, though. Plus, there appear to be simpler alternatives to full blown Mastodon now. I think @abucci and @stigatle are running snac? I didn’t have a closer look at snac (no intention of running it), but if that is a relatively small daemon (maybe comparable to Yarn?) that gives you access to the whole world of ActivityPub, then, well, yeah … That’s tough to beat.

Not sure what my point is. 🤔 For me, it’s easy: I’ll keep using twtxt because all I have to do is host a text file. Dead simple, I love it.

It all depends on what your plans for Yarn.social are. 🤔

Another feature as mentioned in #iq4rusa is using filters on the Timeline and/or Discover views. One of the most common "workflows" I use is to go to "Discover" and use the "Without replies" and "Hide my posts" filters to see if there's anything new and interesting in my pod's cache I haven't seen before or maybe could reply to (or not).

Of course as I've locked down registrations on my pod anyway (have kept it locked down now for months) due to SPAM accounts and bots just creating rubbish accounts/feeds, this workflow may no longer be all that useful? hmmm 🧐

Hah 🤣 @dfaria Your @dfaria.eu feed really does consume about >50% of a "Discover" search with filters "Without replies" and "Hide my posts". 🤣 36/2 = 18 at 25 Twts per page, that's about ~72% of the search/view real estate you're taking up! wow 🤩 -- I'd be very interested to hear what ideas you have to improve this? Those search filters were created so you could sift through either your own Timeline or the Discover view easily.~

One thing to be clear about here is that it was never my intention for a pod's "front page" (Discover view when not logged in) to be any kind of "listing" or "advertising" or such. That was completely unintentional. If this is expected somehow, we should probably discuss that too more seriously and discuss its merits, and if it can be support, should be supported, or if there's a different solution entirely? For example. there is the search engine which _could_ show a global feed/timeline view, albeit the domain could be something different.

I'd like to hear some ideas that fix or improve the signal / noise ratio for all users and even benefits non-users (anonymous users just hitting a pod's index page, which is the discover view)

There's also a pod-level setting (admins) that control what the "Discover" (or front page if you're not logged in) display:



This is either:

- Local posts only (local to the pod)
- All posts in the pod's cache

One of the problems I have with changing the way the "Discover" view works whilst at the same time keeping it "clean" (_depending on who you talk to_) is the behaviour between "Timeline" (what you follow explicitly) and "Discover" (a view into the pod's cache). See attached, where I by default prefer a "collapsed" view (_hiding replies_). The default behaviour for Discover (no controls) is "everything".



The reason I bring this up is that part of my "workflow" has become to occasionally use the "Discover" view to see if I've missed any "in-between" replies that often happen, find new interesting folks to follow and/or interact with, etc.

Changing this to anything but the current behaviour would break this flow for me 😢

There is, however, a DosKillThread() function, which, as far as I know, does not exist on POSIX. 🤔 You can only send a signal to a POSIX thread and then it’ll hopefully end some day, right?

Killing threads is probably a bad idea, though. Who knows which state it’ll leave behind. It’s not like a process which will be properly cleaned up by the OS.

I think I’ll leave it as is. 🙂

@dfaria you are not who you say you are, you are who you show to be. You demonstrated a certain lack of levelled engagement, and sound reasoning; you were borderline hysterical. All qualities everyone should have, even more so someone who has chosen the teaching path.

This is not a train terminal. No need to give so many warnings about leaving, so many “bye-byes”. If that’s your intention, just leave.

@dfaria Appreciate this 👌 Right now the algorithm is quite dumb -- and I'd also hate to develop any algorithm that abuses any data from users. So definately needs to be things like:

- or latest post per domain
