EuroActiv has a nice new article about all of this:
https://www.euractiv.com/section/tech/news/deafening-commission-silence-with-no-credible-eu-us-data-oversight-left/
The most important thing there, for me, is at the end:
"if the EU executive does scrap the deal, it will undoubtedly be seen as a political move against Washington. Better to say and do nothing in the meantime, seems to be the policy.
But silence can’t last forever.
On 5 February, 19 MEPs from across the political spectrum called on the Commission to address the question of whether the DPF is still viable. The Commission has until 19 March to respond in writing.
On 6 February, the chair of the Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs (LIBE) Committee wrote to Commissioner McGrath asking whether the DPF still meets the essential equivalence requirement established by the ECJ after the PCLOB shootings and whether this affects the validity of the DPF.
Schrems told Euractiv that the Commission's silence could leave companies in the legal limbo of an invalidated DPF.
“My biggest worry... is that there is no fucking contingency plan,” he said."

What about discussing it in https://git.mills.io/yarnsocial/twtxt.dev ?
The only con I see is that everyone would need to create an account there to participate.
The editing process needs a lot of consideration and compromises.
From one side, editing and deleting it's necessary IMO. People will do it anyway, and personally I like to edit my texts, so I'd put some effort on make it work.
Should we keep a history of edits? Should we hash every edit to avoid abuse? Should we mark internally a twt as deleted, but keeping the replies?
I think that's part of a more complete 'thread' extension, although I'd say it's worth to agree on something reflecting the real usage in the wild, along with what people usually do on other platforms.
96473B4F_1 -- That is SHA256SUM(feed_url)_<monotomic_feed_post_id>
About alice's hash, using SHA256, I get
96473b4f or 96473B4F for the last 8 characters. I'll add it as an implementation example.The idea of including it besides the follow URL is to avoid calculating it every time we load the file (assuming the client did that correctly), and helps to track replies across the file with a simple search.
Also, watching your example I'm thinking now that instead of
{url=96473B4F,id=1} which is ambiguous of which URL we are referring to, it could be something like:{reply_to=[URL_HASH]_[TWT_ID]} / {reply_to=96473B4F_1}That way, the 'full twt ID' could be
96473B4F_1.

5 2025-03-03T15:20:00-04:00 {lang=fr} Bonjour le monde! A French twt overriding the default language.
6 2025-03-03T15:25:00-04:00 Regular twt without metadata defaults to en.
As in https://eapl.me/timeline/post/s7gv6zq
I changed my URL to experiment on this exact situation, and deleted the symlink on my server, so now tw.txt is the only way to get the file, although I could bring it back, what does everyone say?

if you look at the subject for that twt you will see that it uses the extended hash format to include a URL address.

About the idea of improving the "thread" extension, what if we set aside March 2025 to gather proposals and thoughts from everyone? We could then vote on them at the end of the month to see if the change and migration are worth it.
The voting could include client maintainers (and maybe even users too). That way, we get a good mix of perspectives before taking a decision in a decent timelapse.
What do you think? If this sounds good, we can start agreeing on this. Let me know your thoughts!

Still, it is important to acknowledge what is and has been going on - how a web browser currently became a lot more than just a piece of software implementing a number of open standards, how they are all basically based over one of two existing browser agents (Gecko and Webkit) with the emergence of two upcoming ones (Servo and LibWeb); the difficulties of creating or maintaining a new web browser, or how dependent are all firefox forks (or older, harder derivatives like SeaMonkey) of Mozilla (both Firefox and Gecko).
I'm not trying to get to any point with this text, but rather to highlight that now is the time to have a few conversations around open standards, and in particular web standards. And as it happens, the "annual day" to have discussions of that sort is around the corner: @dff@dff's Document Freedom Day 2025 is already in the 26th of this month. So why aren't there more events on the map? How is your community, user group, etc. going to mark and celebrate this day?
Organize something, and put it on the events map, right this way: https://digitalfreedoms.org/en/dfd

Having said that, it appears that this only affects me personally, noone else. I don't know of any other client that saves read statuses. But don't worry about me, all good. Just keep doing what you've done so far. I wanted to mention that only for the sake of completeness. :-)
