@prologic Done. Also, I went ahead and made two changes: changed hexadecimal to base64 for hashes (wasn't sure if anyone objected), and changed "MUST follow the chain" to "SHOULD follow the chain.
This is a 1-way feed by the looks 🤣 Maybe someone can figure out how to reach out to this person and see if they're aware and interested in something a bit more "social" (_albeit slow_) 🤣

@prologic Thanks for pointing out it lasts four hours. That's a big window! I wonder when most people will be on. I might aim for halfway through unless I hear otherwise. (12:00Z is a bit early for me.)
This Facebook/Meta story on storing passwords in plain text it just wow 😮 -- Like how da fuq does a company, or anyone for that matter in the business of software / technology even do this?! Like at least base64 encode the fuckers right?! (_oh wait 🤦♂️_)_

Probably the best idea I've heard/seen si far is @anth's idea of a feed having a uuid # uuid = (_if present_) otherwise just falling back to the URL you fetched it from and dropping the idea of a feed # url = entirely.

@prologic do you think that, I don’t know, but maybe(?), Gopher/Gemini feeds might lack, pffff, I don’t know, any mechanisms for discovery…. and caching?!?! 🤣

It Sounds like a good idea! should that be limited to just direct replays or can it be extended to replays to other replays, that way and With just the right amount of chain-replays, we'll be RRrrrrrevolutionizing the way people Mailing Lists like, in no time! xD
P.S: Just a reminder! I've already told you not to mind my twts for the next couple of hours, right!

@bender Well Matt should definitely get better Lawyers/PR people who could slap em' on the wrest and tell "NO!" before he does something childish and effs things up. As for WPE, I believe a billion dollar company should be able to afford investing in their own infrastructure, hosting their resources, deploying their own CDNs and what not instead of leaching on Wordpress ('s infrastructure) for free (as in free coffee) + The Stripe thing they did is so disgusting _given the circumstances_, I don't even want to talk about it.
Things could/should've been handled better, now it's just another sh...rimp show.

@prologic How is nick@domain any better than a feed URL? Changing the nick now also breaks threading. That's even worse than the current approach. Also, there might be multiple feeds with same nicks on one domain, e.g. on free hosters.
Phew! I now finally called it a day as well. Our customer wanted me to emergency-start implementing some changes. Got an initial version with unit tests, but the final testing must wait until Monday.
Finally weekend. Time to relax a bit. And today I finally have some time for my computer in my free time. Wish you all a great weekend! Take care of your self and those around you :)
