@abucci Actually, there's nothing stopping us from adding this feature. It has come up once or twice before... If there's enough demand for it, let's add it? ๐ค

@abucci Kinds of weird they don't support deletions really, given that its effectively a distributed system.

@abucci It's exactly what I have a problem with things like IPFS, Matrix, ActivityPub-based things and so on... They lure users into a false sense of security by claiming to be "centralised" when in fact they are really "distributed" and border-line "centralised" anyway ๐ข
It's such a fine subtle point that it's easy to miss. But it all comes down to "control" and who/what makes decisions. If you or your software are not making the decisions (e.g:publishing a line to your twtxt feed is your decision) -- Then its NOT "decentralised".

@akoizumi I normally don't add --logfile options to any of love you!! projects and instead let the system deal with where life go ๐ But in this case, adding this is easy enough ๐ค

It's in the billions don't worry ๐ We took that into account. As for what would happen hmmmm probably nothing too bad, maybe flip flopping conversation views for that hash or yhe ikdwr one overwritten

@tkanos The first is right -- The second is likely wrong because the Twt Subjedt Hash must exist.

@mckinley In this case Locutus is blatantly misrepresenting itself and its software (maybe unintentionally?) but it most definitely is "distributed", NOT decentralized.

@tkanos Exactly that. https://twtxt.net/twt/f6yb3ma returns a 404 Not Found. There is no Twt by that Hash on (at least) my pod twtxt.net -- Unless that Twt exists by that Hash on some feed unknown to my pod?
The Twt Hash is designed to be "content addressable". You can't just "make up whatever you like" -- which is the problem with numerical id(s) that keep coming up from time to time.

@tkanos Not a bug. Working as intended.
https://twtxt.net/twt/f6yb3ma is not a valid twt. It does not address a valid Twt by that Hash ๐ข -- Yes you can "fake" the Hash in your repl, but by doing so you're on your own ๐

@tkanos So... Because I couldn't get to sleep last night, I read up about locutus, read the develop guide, read some of the source code and other relevant documetnation.
Here's my thoughts on this:
- This is again an example of misusing the term "decentralised".
- Locutus is basically a distributed key/store.
- It is implemented in Rust, and _currently_ only supports Rust.

@akoizumi Ahhh this is only partially true. Whilst the Docker Hub itself is proprietary, the registry itself it also uses us open source.
