I'm not talking (_nor ever was here_) about that. We should be allowed to and encourage dot evolve its usage and our own.
It would be far better as a community to focus on the utility of our tools, services, protocols, formats and specifications as well as our own clients and usages thereof rather than this "idealised" design from (c) 2016.
If you strongly disagree with this, then I think I'll just honestly step away from all of this as the back 'n forth on this whole "beaty" and "simplify" argument is honestly wearing me down π’
> How do I know what a hash refers to?
I believe the reason for this stems from a curiosity of the user of whether they _might_ find that thread interesting or whether there are new interested feeds to follow?
Although my idea increases complexity slightly (_introducing a new concept_) I don't think it's particular hard to understand, reason about or implement (_complicated_). One could even even make the implementation quite simple in fact.
Either way, the idea of a service (_cantralised_) or participating clients/registries (_distributed_) providing reverse hash lookups doesn't sound too bad really.
What do you propose to solve the above problem? π€
> What is this hash?
> What does it refer to?
Idea: Why can't we all agree to implement a simple URI scheme where we host our Twtxt feeds?
That is, if you host your feed at
https://example.com/twtxt.txt -- Why can't or could you not also host various JSON files (_let's agree on the spec of course_) at https://example.com/twt/<hash> ? π€That way we solve this problem in a truly decentralised way, rather than every relying on
yarnd pods alone.

Honestly, the U.S President and Vice President should just resign immediately. What a disgrace.
Why? Because someone or something from this ASN (network) is doing some stupid shitβ’ that I had to block at the ASN (_entire network_) level π€¬

I think I know what the problem is π§
----
- **Abolish the Federal Reserve**
*Why?* To end what is seen as an unelected, centralized body that exerts too much influence over the economy and monetary policy, replacing it with a more transparent, market-driven approach.
- **Implement a national consumption tax**
*Why?* To replace the current federal income tax system, simplify taxation, and increase government revenue through a broader base that includes all consumers.
- **Lower corporate tax rates**
*Why?* To promote business growth, increase investment, and stimulate job creation by reducing the financial burden on companies.
- **Deregulate environmental policies**
*Why?* To reduce government intervention in the economy, particularly in energy and natural resources sectors, and to foster a more business-friendly environment.
- **Restrict abortion access**
*Why?* To align with conservative pro-life values and overturn or limit abortion rights, seeking to restrict the practice at a federal level.
- **Dismantle LGBTQ+ protections**
*Why?* To roll back protections viewed as promoting LGBTQ+ rights in areas like employment and education, in line with traditional family values.
- **Eliminate diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs**
*Why?* To end policies that are seen as divisive and to promote a merit-based system that prioritizes individual achievements over group identity.
- **Enforce stricter immigration policies, including mass deportations and detentions**
*Why?* To prioritize border security, reduce illegal immigration, and enforce existing laws more aggressively, as part of a broader strategy to safeguard U.S. sovereignty.
- **Eliminate the Department of Education**
*Why?* To reduce federal control over education and shift responsibilities back to local governments and private sectors, arguing that education decisions should be made closer to the community level.
- **Restructure the Department of Justice**
*Why?* To ensure the department aligns more closely with the administrationβs priorities, potentially reducing its scope or focus on areas like civil rights in favor of law-and-order policies.
- **Appoint political loyalists to key federal positions**
*Why?* To ensure that government agencies are headed by individuals who are committed to advancing the administration's policies, and to reduce the influence of career bureaucrats.
- **Develop training programs for appointees to execute reforms effectively**
*Why?* To ensure that political appointees are equipped with the knowledge and skills necessary to implement the proposed changes quickly and effectively.
- **Provide a 180-day transition plan with immediate executive orders**
*Why?* To ensure that the incoming administration can swiftly implement its agenda and make major changes early in its term without delay.
