After the behaviour of a clearly very angry feed author over the past few days, I'm very tempted to give up on Twtxt and allow it to go back to being dead. What really is the point of building and supporting a way to exchange little pieces of text with one another in a completely decentralized way, if you're just going to keep bumping up against such hostility? I don't know why I do this anymore.

The real crux of the matter is this whole moving feeds around to different uri(s). This makes things hard. I think it's worth revisiting @anth 's UUID idea for its merits.

@movq I'm assuming jenny is doing some kind of validation and verifying if that Twt really does exist on the feed uri? 🤔 But the hash is all kinds of wrong now because @gallowsgryph for whatever reason decided it _might_ be a good idea to have a 2nd # url that doesn't actually point to the same Twtxt feed (_bad idea_).

@bender @movq AFAICT this isn't a bug with yarnd, but a. bug with the feed itself. The feed is now completely broken in that regard. See #27nifeq

@gallowsgryph Your feed is a bit off. I don't think it makes sense to have a 2nd # url field that doesn't point to the same Twtxt feed 🤔

Ya know; Rather than being an asshole and getting all angry, just be reasonable and reach out to the community or folks fetching (or trying) your feed.
Most clients respect caching if your feed is transported I've HTTP.
Otherwise you can add the # refresh hint to clients on your feed.
No need to be an obnoxious ass and flood your own feed. That will just get you permanarely unfollowed and ignored.

@slashdot wut da fuq?! What happened? What da hell was the Australian federal police even doing or asking? da fuq? I didn't even know Session was based in Australia?! 🇦🇺 Oh my 😱 -- I _think_ this is worth enough to raise this with my local Federal MP (Elizabeth Watson Brown). This is nuts. The Australia FP can get bent 🤦♂️ I'd like to learn more about wtf happened here, seriously this is unacceptable and an overreach at first glance.

@asquare This is absolutely true! 💯 However the natural behavior of editing a post is the same as forking. So from a community perspective, we're _actaully_ okay with how that works in reality. I _think_ we're all getting a bit too hung up on "exactness". One of the things I think we're finding hard to reconcile is the fine line between a decentralised ecosystem and distributed system.
I want it very much to remain decentralised. That means Content-based addressing makes sense, because you can have integrity about what a Twt Hash means. I don't really mind if a thread gets forked because the OP was edited, that's actually how forking works anyway 😅

In any case, yes Content addressing can break threads when the original content is edited that's for sure, however we've since agreed and realized that technically speaking, we can actually identify from a clients perspective, whether an edit took place.

@asquare We've collectively as a community (_welcome to the community too! 🥳_) had a many-week, multi-thread debate over this. It all boils down to Content Addressing vs. Location Addressing and the benefits, pros/cons of each approach. Ultimately though threads in Twtxt take advantage of a convention we formalized as the Twt Subject. This is combined with a Location-based Addressing, the Twt Hash extension. In the end we are likely to stay with this approach, but fix the parameters we use and truction._

The V: pattern itself is quite good because you can do quite a lot of powerful things with selected text.
For example: ggV}:s/^/ -/ will insert a - at the beginning of every line turning your bunch of lines into a Markdown list of items 😅
