@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Probably not? https://dev.twtxt.net/doc/metadataextension.html
@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Same to you!
Good Morning everyone! Wishing all of you a productive and Happy Monday!
In other words, there isnāt anything specifically wrong with the Twtxt spec (+extensions), but if you for example use a client and server combination that never considered the User-Agent
header and check logs or intercept requests for your feed, than you end up missing an important part of the whole flow (unless you are of course deliberating ignoring that, e.g: 1-way feeds, news feeds, etc).
In my opinion, this can all be solved by a ābetter standard clientā.
For example I noticed in this thread, someone, me, and you, and now itās just a bad @-mention mentioned Soren Peter with a bad link :/
This also just reminds me of the other problems that exist:
- bad mentions.
- knowing whether someone will youāve @-mentioned will even see your reply at all.
@mckinley@twtxt.net I think we just need a way of surfacing this information better for both users and operators? š¤
@mckinley@twtxt.net I did!
@mckinley@twtxt.net Yeah this is what was being ācleaned upā
Yo be honest I donāt think there is a good solution IMO
@prologic@twtxt.net I think one-way feeds are okay and we shouldnāt discourage them so strongly. On the other hand, I think itās the duty of a poderator to filter out feeds that are just noise from the Discover feed. I definitely consider a truckload of one-way posts mostly in another language to be noise. Did you get rid of Gopher Chat too? Iād call that noise, for sure.
Youāre right we should
never be like Microshit š
@bender@twtxt.net Standard twtxt is a microblog in its purest form. A blog, but smaller. Itās just a list of posts to read, and thatās an echochamber in the same way my regular blog is an echochamber. I donāt think thereās anything wrong with that.
@prologic@twtxt.net I support the delisting of ciberlandia.pt in the Discover feed due to the sheer volume of posts from there and the fact that most of them are in Portuguese with this being a predominantly English-language pod.
@mckinley@twtxt.net I think āposting to the voidā was/is a poor choice of words hete.
@prologic@twtxt.net Why do we need to avoid posting to the void? Thatās pretty much what twtxt was made for. I donāt like the āLegacy feedā terminology, either. I support the delisting of ciberlandia.pt but I think this change is heading in a bad direction.
I like @sorenpeter@darch.dk ās suggestion. It gives the users the information and lets them make their own decision instead of putting a big scary warning in their face. Thatās what Microsoft does, and we shouldnāt be Microsoft.
@slashdot@feeds.twtxt.net Oh boi! š Gotta take a screenshot of this in case Microsoft demand the article be taken down š¤£
@dfaria@twtxt.net Also, I donāt really care whether you continue to use my pod or not frankly.
One more reason not to use https://twtxt.net/
negative comments like this are completely unconstructive and have no basis in merit. If you have issues with the way I administer my pod, speak up, provide alternatives. If you have good technical suggestions for Twtxt/Yarn, weāre all ears. We are only trying (or attempt to try) to make things better for all, which as you can appreciate is a hard thing to do.
Next time, please leave your constructive criticisms at home. No-one forces you to use my pod (for free).
Oh never mind! š¤¦āāļø Thatās your other feed that you syndicate some stuff to? š¤ Research?
@dfaria@twtxt.net And btw, even if I block a feed or whole domain, it doesnāt stop you from following. it just removes it from the āDiscoverā view.
@dfaria@twtxt.net And here I thought you never or weāre not capable (client?) of interacting with other users? š¤£
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Same š¢
@eapl.me@eapl.me We went out for nice breakfast and put the camper trailer away š
@mckinley@twtxt.net Yeah pretry by hand at the moment.I only backup what I cannot reproduce.
