@movq That"s because "federated" is a terrible term. I don't use it and I don't like it.

Does anyone have the ability to like oh I dunno, DM jack and convince him to donate some money fo Yarn.social if he feels that badly about what's happened to Twitterβ’? π
jack if you're reading this (I doubt it); put your money where your mouth is mate π
Help us build Yarn.social into a "protocol" (which it already is) and help us grow it to more everyday folks (we need funds to build apps, because that's what everyone expects and uses!)

@mckinley To be honest I don't even know what "problems" Discord was trying to solve? It just seems like yet another Sassy thing trying to squeeze as much money out of poor unsuspecting humans. What "technical" or "social" problems was it trying to solve? π€
At least we're attempting to solve (finally) a decentralised, simple to use and simple to build against (indie-web style) instant messenger with Salty.im -- We just need either funds, time or contributors or all three π

@will Well now that we have a Vultr App spinning up your own Pod for either yourself or a small community of friends/family or whatever should be really easy now. We plan to rollout similar apps out to other providers too over time.
Other than this, what other opinion were you after? π

@marado The "issue" (if you will) about Twtxt / Yarn.social not being talked about as a viable alternative, is money. We simply do not have deep pockets like Twitterβ’ or any of the other privacy eroding pieces of garbage "social. media", so we'll always stay small and niche unless one of two things happens:
* some nice person throws money our way
* some "popular" person says, "Hey look, go join Yarn.social, it's completely decentralised and devoid of all this madness!"

@tkanos Sounds awesome! Shall we discuss this Sat 5am UTC over a video call?
> One idea to federate twtxt.
Twtxt or Yarn.social? Yarn.social is also "federated" -- even though I don't really like the terminology, it's all wrong. π

This week @mckinley and I chatted for 1.5.hrs on numerous topics:
- Improvements to yarnc and 3-way sync to support arbitrary deletions/edits of your feed
- Encrypted feeds and how that could work
- Integration Salty IM into Yarn.social
- The awfulness of Targeted advertising and how it should be made illegal
- Running Yarn pods in Tor
- Linux on the Desktop and accessibility
Did I miss anything else? π€
