@mckinley I'm not sure it can be. It doesn't make sense to me to create feeds for some other actor just because.

Speaking of Yarn and/or Twtxt + Activity Pub integration... Been thinking... If a decision is made to turn this into a full-fledged Twtxt bridging services between Twtxt <-> Activity Pub (_which would make things much more transparent, because then yarnd only has to speak Twtxt period_)...
What do we (_or can we_) do about filling in context. Right now with this crappy half-baked implementation I have going (_experimental_) for yarnd, I can just go grab the Activity Pub Note that the inReplyTo references and inject that into the cache.
With a separate more transparent Twtxt <-> Activity Pub; what do we do? Even if we created a feed for the actor referenced in the inReplyTo you wouldn't know to follow them anyway...
Hmmm? π€

@abucci Yeah this is a bit of a known issue. It's caused by bad RSS feeds that repeat the same items. We track the last time stamp of the lat item we saw.

@darch That's the normal peering that yarnd does between pods. Because I replied to @david and you follow me, since you don't follow david and don't have the root twt for context, your pod asked mine for it.

@abucci In this case Sinclair is more interested in the "how" and "why". Like actual proper science and mechanics and what the processes are at play that make us age.

So riddle me this... Why are a lot of corporate/company website either built as multi-megabyte Javascript bundles (RactJS, etc) or Wordpress instances?! π€¦ββοΈ

@shreyan That's a really good question. I would love it if I could say have a mutual exchange with another person in exchange for some goods or services, and have that recorded, signed and attested by each other in our own "books". No stupid blockchain or mining or centralised bank ledger. Just an agreement between two or more persons.

> Thatβs the problem, people saw cryptocurrencies as way to make money quick (classic money making problem), itβs not that the idea of cryptocurrency is a Ponzi scheme, is that people are using it to engineer Ponzi schemes or do fraud with it as they do with fiat money.
I _think_ you are confusing the idea of a blockchain, a distributed leger. That idea has its merits, btu, and I stress but in reality it also has its own sets of problems too.
