@prologic I started to write it in order to understand better how twtxt works and I thought it could be useful for non-geek people but they like to host their own data

and "Reply 2" was selected, pressing
A to reply to the parent should have picked "Message". However, a reply to "Reply 2" was composed instead. The reason was a precausiously introduced safety guard to abort the parent search which stopped at "Subreply", because its subject didn't match "Reply 2"'s. It was originally intended to abort on a completely different message conversation root. Just in case. Turns out that this thoght was flawed.Fixing bugs by only removing code is always cool. :-)
no clue where i was going. found something called dogwood trail so just followed the arrows and tried not to stress the hills.

# type = bot and optionally # retention = N so that feeds like @tiktok work like they did before, and... Updated some internal metrics in yarnd to be IMO "better", with queue depth, queue time and last processing time for feeds.

Interestingly, you can abuse the scoring system (not manually, only with a script). Since the mouse *jumps* to the locations along the circle, you can just use very few steps and still get a great score because every step you make is very accurate – but the result looks funny:

hahahahaha 🤣 Does your client allow you to do this or what? 🤔

jenny, tt or any other client where fetches are driven by user interactions of invoking the app. What do we call this type of client? Hmmm 🤔 Then I can tell who uses yarnd because they are "seen" more frequently 🤣
I'll think about doing this too, but I have to do it carefully so as not to cost too much in terms of resources or performance...

moved this to today since tomorrow we have to wake up early and drive to TN. half a pizza and two pints sloshing around still felt okay. the pepperoni definitely gave me some additional heartburn though!
