@movq Hmmm now I'm confused 😅 I've made no changes anywhere -- we still need to all agree, especially client authors and maintainers 🤣

@movq Don't we use the last url for hashing? 🤔

@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 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. 🤔

@sorenpeter As a *replacement*, it should be doable. But it won’t work *together* with hashes. So the community has to agree on one or the other first.

My very strong opinion on the use of Twtxt is if you intend to use it, you should be prepared to let people pull your feed or at least check it and regular rentals.
Otherwise get out and go use something that's either a distributed (Mastodon, AT, etc) or centralized (Facebook, X, etc) network.

I just find a very frustrating when you have these very small number of people that lash out unnecessarily and get so angry over nothing.

@cuaxolotl I think we've done that here right? 🤔 we seem to have collectively formed a community of folks that are interested in interacting with one another in a completely decentralized way and minimal way.

@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 might join from mum’s house. That’s, if she let me. 😅😅😅
@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?

i've observed that (decentralized) social platforms that encourage promiscuous follow behavior frequently run into this issue. there are lots of grumpy people out there and people who use social media to vent or let off steam. i know people worry about siloes, but i think that actually is an expression of FOMO and anxiety over being ignored by the 'cool kids'. what i rarely see is media platforms that embrace the reality of bubbles and give users the ability to form healthy social connections and curate content that they enjoy.
@sorenpeter Awesome! I'll dig in as soon as I come back from my late night stroll

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.

also you know who cannot resist a riddle? mathematicians, that's for sure
The real crux of the matter is this whole moving feeds around to different uri(s). This makes things hard. I think it's worth revisiting @anth 's UUID idea for its merits.

@movq I'm assuming jenny is doing some kind of validation and verifying if that Twt really does exist on the feed uri? 🤔 But the hash is all kinds of wrong now because @gallowsgryph for whatever reason decided it _might_ be a good idea to have a 2nd # url that doesn't actually point to the same Twtxt feed (_bad idea_).

@bender @movq AFAICT this isn't a bug with yarnd, but a. bug with the feed itself. The feed is now completely broken in that regard. See #27nifeq

@gallowsgryph Your feed is a bit off. I don't think it makes sense to have a 2nd # url field that doesn't point to the same Twtxt feed 🤔

@gallowsgryph@gallowsgryph Hey 👋
that cabin sitting in an anonymous warehouse? being functionally a fairy mound, it attracted quite the amount of unbound magic and thaumoactive as it is, it's now sitting in the equivalent of a cooling pond
fairies are the mythologized form of outlaws living in the woods and swamps, we don't see them anymore because the cops took them all away and all the woods have been tamed↵↵but in a sense, this means Ted K was a fairy, and a powerful and malevolent one to boot
