> Twtxt was made for nerds, by nerds.
I'd like to change that. It's by nerds/hackers, for nerds/hackers and friends of these. It doesn't have to be hacky all the time, as you don't need to be a nerd to have a blog.
But, for that to happen, someone has to build the tools to improve UX.
> by design there really is no way to easily discovers others
Yeah, I agree, and although there are directories of email addresses, usually you don't want that, unless you are a 'public figure'.
I couldn't say that a microblogging is a "social network" by default, as a blog is not either. At the same time, people would expect to find new people and conversations, as you'd do in a forum.
I think of two features on top of the current spec:
- Clients showing a few posts of what your following are watching but you don't, so perhaps you find something interesting to follow next. Or that feature of "Your 'followings' are following these accounts/people". (Hard to explain in english, but I hope you get the idea)
- Sharing your .txt into some directory, saying "Hey, I have this twtxt URL, I want to be discovered". I'm thinking of something like the Federated tab on Mastodon.

> instead of adding the new twt at the end of the feed, do it at the beginning
The PHP client did that originally, although I didn't see a real benefit if you use... a client.
It could help if you read the .txt file through a browser or something. Also, not many clients are prepared to cut the request, and you can't rely on the file being organized that way, so finally we dropped that feature.

Twtxt was made for nerds, by nerds. So one would script a way to often (and/or ongoing) check your web server logs for new mentions, "follows", etc.

@prologic @eapl.me The question I was asked the most was: How do I discover people?
Someone came up with a fantastic idea, instead of adding the new twt at the end of the feed, do it at the beginning. So you can paginate by cutting the request every few lines.

About 1, well, I think anyone has an email address and only about 5% use a Feed, so it makes sense to offer what most people use 🤔

@lyse I remember WebKit having a similar list, but I can’t find it right now … 🙈

1. Why the hell are e-mail newsletters considered a valid option in the first place? Just offer an Atom feed and be done with it! Especially for a blog of this very type. This doesn't even involve a third party service. Although, in addition he also links to Feedburner, what the fuck!? No e-mail address or the like is needed and subject to being disclosed.
2. When these spam mailers want to prevent resubscribing, then for fuck's sake, why don't they use a hash of the e-mail address (I saw that in yarnd) for that purpose? Storing the e-mail address in clear text after unsubscribing is illegal in my book.
But I do use it quite a lot. Although, I don’t really use it as a social network (as in: following people). I follow some tags like #retrocomputing, which fills my timeline with interesting content. If there was a traditional web forum or mailing list or even a usenet group that covered this topic, I’d use that instead. But that’s all (mostly) dead by now. ☹️

This is a conversation thread from a twtxt network, detailing a user's (movq) frustration with the Mastodon "export data" feature and their consideration of self-hosting a fediverse alternative. Here's a summary:
* movq's initial issue:
* movq is concerned about the volatility of their data on their current Mastodon instance due to a broken "export data" feature.
* They contacted the admins, but the issue remains unresolved.
* This led them to contemplate self-hosting.
* Alternative fediverse software suggestions:
* kat suggests gotosocial as a lightweight alternative to Mastodon.
* movq agrees, and also mentions snac as a potential option.
* movq's change of heart:
* movq ultimately decides that self-hosting any fediverse software, besides twtxt, is too much effort.
* Resolution and compromise:
* The Mastodon admins attribute the export failure to the size of movq's account.
* movq decides to set their Mastodon account to auto-delete posts after approximately 180 days to manage data size.
* Movq also mentions that they use auto-expiring links on twtxt to reduce data storage.*
