Do we really need to scale? How many people can you follow, read and respond to? And websockets could really help.

@kas@enotty.dk, @david@post.aldebaran.uberspace.de As long as I can still upload my hand edited twtfile on any webserver and someone can follow me, twtxt hasn’t lost its way. :)

@kdave@kdave.github.io The last commit will check for the environment variable TXTNIX_CONFIG_DIR but this won’t help if i move following to a state file.

@kdave@kdave.github.io Ah, okay, i misunderstood you there… :) Would you be okay with following moving to the state file?

But what to do with following? Are you hand editing it? Would it be okay to move the section to the state file?

// follow raur http://raur.nfshost.com/twtxt.txt

// follow krt http://krt.marmaro.de/twtxt.txt

// follow david http://post.aldebaran.uberspace.de/twtxt/david.txt

// follow kdave https://kdave.github.io/twtxt.txt

I’m contemplating a announce_following option, disabled by default, to to anounce follow and unfollow commands in your twtfile.

https://github.com/mdom/twtxtpl/commit/cc8b checks if the twtfile was fetched by following a 301 and rewrites the url in your configuration file

part 3: make ‘tf’ run ‘twtxt follow “$@”’

My site has made me really lazy with how I follow people on twtxt

@buckket did you consider having [following] in the twtxt file itself, so people could see who other people were following?

@ruebot I kinda wish the config was part of the twtxt file, so you could see who people are following
