@shreyan@twtxt.net What do you mean when you say federation protocol?
Either use webfinger for identity like mastodon etc. or use ATproto from Bluesky (or both?)
We can use webmentions or create our own twt-mentions for notifying someones feed (WIP code at: https://github.com/sorenpeter/timeline/tree/webmention/views)
Iām not sure we need much else. I would not even bother with encryption since other platforms does that better, and for me twtxt/yarn/timeline is for making things public
yarnd does not do auto discovery via webfinger though.. i cant put @username and have it fetch the feed url from webfinger. to fully make feeds portable. would also need to be able to use that for hashing.
So where do we start wring down the specs/protocol for twtxt2/yarn?
