@bender Perhaps it might be better to describe a "Pod" or "Yarn Pod" as a Web Application or Desktop/Mobile App that provides a good user experience to provide a decentralised set of capabilities for following and interactions with one or more Twtxt feeds? π€ By that definition, even Jenny would fit that bill π

The only reason that Yarn was ever referred to as a pod was because it supported multiple users.

@bender thanks for this! Do you remember the numerous times that I have stated the nuances between distributed networks and decentralized networks? With Bluesky it's even worse as the way they are operating building and maintaining their service, It's more closer to centralized service than anything remotely close to what we would consider "decentralized".

@doesnm I think it's worth looking at the Web Browser Timeline to really understand the history and derivation of web browsers over time. I agree that building a Web Browser is complicated and hard, but that's only because of the expectations we place on web browsers today and the enormous set of features they now carry. Ultimately we're still talking about one of the most powerful and simplest protocols ever invesnted, the Hypermedia Text Transport Protocol and Hypermedia Systems.
But that's not what I meant when I said "The web is seemingly garbage these days".

The Australia Labor government, Albanese and the honourable Michelle Rowland federal member for parliament and communications minster are fucking clowns. It's stupid shit like this that's the _real_ problem with "big tech" social media platforms. These morons just simply don't understand basic economics and basic business.
Why would a company like Meta, X and TikTok give up a large multi-billion dollar segment of the market. That is, young children from the ages of ~3 to 16 (_yes kids these days can use a computer or device from a pretty young age!_)
The whole masquerade of "online saftey" and the new Australia legislation of the Online Safety Act 2021 is complete and utter bullshit.
You wanna fix this whole cybercrime and cyber bullying that goes on (_which btw if you understood how these fucking platforms worked in the first place, you'd realise drives up engagement on the platforms by abusing human emotional and psychological weakness_), then ban and make illegal with multi-Billion dollar fines the following:
- Profiting off data collected by users on your platform(s)
- Categorizing users on your platform and performing A/B tests
- Targeting users (_of any age_) for advertising
In fact just ban targeted advertising period.
