Bad idea of the day: voting, except with a 30 year delay, to force people to actually think ahead.
Setting idea: Protagonist is mind-wiped, people around them are grieving for the person they were while they slowly piece together any identity at all

@tdemin@tdemin.github.io good points, though another that I’ve noticed is that it’s difficult to tell who in your network is actually reachable with your tweets. My HTTPS cert went unupdated for a brief while and now I have no idea who is still following me since I got it working again, so it’s difficult to tell where I can really have a conversation. A centralized service can tell who’s following who, but that’s basically impossible in twtxt.

[for reference: https://arxiv.org/abs/1705.03394 - while thorough, they didn’t have this idea]
@reednj@twtxt.xyz Yeah, to make twtxt ready for a mesh network. But i just played with the idea, it’s no call for implementation… :)
There could be known archive urls and we could use mdns for local twtxt distribution. Just playing with the idea… :)
idea addressed networking, a paradigm under which packets reach their destinations through social network shares and word-of-mouth
@durcheinandr@durcheinandr.de Sorry, no idea then. I have a ticker with news agencies like dpa, afp etc. at work but that’s more like a firehose.
@mdom@domgoergen.com, @dave@davebucklin.com, @kas@enotty.dk I agree with the “no max length; show at least 140chars” idea.
What about benaiah first idea for #issue48? It would be easy to parse, looks very unixlike and doesn’t clash with the current syntax? I would implement it for txtnish, if it wouldn’t be the only implementation… :)
@kas@enotty.dk Ah, #txtnish just dumps the latin-1 on your terminal. Not sure what i should do about that, but it’s probably okay. But it’s a good idea to test that!
Maybe it would be a good idea to point new users to reednj, we-are-twtxt or irc. Some set up a twtfile and aren’t sure about the next step.
I though about ix.io, any other good ideas?
Does anybody has a good idea where to do some promotion for twtxt? A subreddit or online community i haven’t thought about?
@freemor@freemor.homelinux.net Let me know if you have any good idea how to solve that. You probably need two files: your plain twtfile and a signed one in your docroot.
