yarnd pods that form a "distributed network".
yarnd already forms a sort-of "distributed network" amongst its peers and whilsts uses Twtxt (_of course_) is both decentralised and distributed. Nothing wrong with that. -- I tried to build a search engine and crawler, but getting that resource efficient and useful is hardβ’.So if we can have a small network of participating members of the community forming a "distributed network" of the Twtxtβ’ space, we can solve this problem quite easily. We could even put some GeoDNS routing in place and a single A record/domain to make things even easier. Let's call it s "Registry Service" if you will :)

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€¬
