@justamoment We're going to need your help here to make this a better user experience. Please help us π€ I'm biased because I'm used to the current UX, but that doesn't mean it's _correct_ or even the _best_ user experience (yet) -- I blame myself, I originally built most of it, now thanks to folks like @ullarah it's getting a lot better π€

We've been _lied_ to for decades now in this heavy Cloud/SaaS industry we find ourselves in with numerous so-called "free" services that aren't really free at all, let alone private or even secure (there are data breaches and leaks pretty much every other day).
One thing I'd like to do is Write a blog post response to Moxie's post -- Because are _some_ beefs I have with his opinion on this subject, namely statements like:
> People donβt want to run their own servers, and never will.

This guy sounds a lot like me with very similar views π

> As an alternative approach, I advocate for software that is designed with self-hosting in mind *first*. These are applications that are designed to be as simple as possible, with as low of an operational burden as possible
π Absolutely 100% agree, this is what I'm most passionate about. Writing good software, tools and self-hosted apps and services is not _really_ that hard...

@justamoment That's how it behaves now hmmm π€ But there are some good points here. @ullarah let's see if we can make some improvements here when you're done with the other WIP PR(s) π

The trick is making this work gracefully so that if you don't have Javascript enabled, it still works, even if a bit of a degraded UX. The UI/UX of the yarnd Web Interface is designed to be an SSR (Server-Side Rendered) UI with very small use of Javascript with graceful degradation.

@technicalsuwako Yeah so if you use the "Post Box" at the top, that will create a brand new post. Correct.
If you use "Reply" it will place the Post Box below the Twt you're replying to (if you have Javascript enabled), "Fork" will for the current Conversation/Thread (we call a Yarn) into a new one.
I'm not sure how else to make this better except to see if @ullarah can do something about hiding the Pos Box at the top behind some kind of HTML section with some CSS and JS. Ideally it would not be visible at all unless you clicked on a button of some kind...

@justamoment That's precisely what we're doing with Yarn.social -- Make it hard to abuse, make it hard to profit off, make it hard to block, make it hard to censor.
I strongly believe in openness and transparency when it comes to social media and we try to make things behave as they would analogously as if you were sitting around a campfire or Yarning circle (look it up!) and having a conversation (a Yarn :D)
The most important thing though, is to ensure we have good documentation and specifications. yarnd is just (now) one of many clients. π

@novaburst Yes that's right, whilst Twitterβ’ continue to allow anonymous scraping of Twtterβ’ feeds, this will continue to be possible.
It would be _better_ though if those Twitterβ’ feeds decided to jump ship off of the privacy eroding, manipulative garbage that is Twtterβ’ and come join Yarn.social instead, potentially running their own Pod π€
