the game map is all of wikipedia and you move around by following links, also the main page is full of campers, avoid
like twitter, but you can be followed by 280 people at most
So since Mastodon was mentioned a few times, I’m trying that out. Any recommendations on people to follow?
Re: support for other protocols, it seems like twtxt would be pretty easily adapted to work over the p2p file network DAT, though it’d need client support for DAT or some way to follow people via files and sync in the background, which might be simpler for clients to support but would still require changes to most clients.
@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.

modulo concerns about mind complexity not following a power law, and other unquestioned assumptions I guess
Leave paradise, Eve parasite: The story of ingestion, infection, and following quarantine. Genesis 3, unknown author.
He yawns, a few moths escape from his mouth. He follows them with his gaze, then notices you, startles, looks away sheepishly
At night, your maidbot often sneaks away. One time, you follow it and find an android coven in a warehouse, chanting in near-ultrasound
The latest #txtnish will check the url key to change the twturl you’re following. Like an inline 304.
“And these are my lucky dice!“↵They feel warm in your hand, in fact their eyes follow you and there is very quiet breathing
Okay, the plan for txtio: Use sqlite to store followings, tweets and config and use ncurses for the ui. Let’s see how that works out.
A small whirlwind followed you home months ago. It’s become a constant companion, likes to sleep near your laptop’s air exhaust to recharge
Maybe we shouldn’t add time sensitive metadata. Maybe # following = https://domgoergen.com/twtxt/mdom.txt https://enotty.dk/twtxt.txt …
@kas@enotty.dk Then let’s just say it has to be on top to make it easy. I’m not even sure how to encode follow? # follow = mdom https://domgoergen.com/twtxt/mdom.txt looks wrong.
When it comes to performance issues, I honestly think the solution is just “don’t follow so many people”. You only pull the feeds you read, and once one’s feeds are too much for the computer to handle, they’ll almost certainly have far too much content for a person to actually read.
@kas@enotty.dk, @freemor@freemor.homelinux.net (re: finger) That’s another neat thing about twtxt, it totally independent of any transport layer. ipfs, zeronet, finger, as long as the protocol has an url we could follow the ressource.
@freemor@freemor.homelinux.net We tackle that problem when it arises. I’m currently following 60 (mostly dormant) users with 500k for all files with an update taking less than 2s.
#txtnish now requests gzipped pages if possible and you can call timeline with a single url to view the twtfile of someone you don’t follow.
@freemor@freemor.homelinux.net You have to set sync_followings to a remote plain text followings file. You can use we-are-twtxt, but any file will do. Better back up your followings before you test that. Seemed to work here, but who knows.
I stumbled upon darebee.com in an unrelated hn thread and i’m really impressed, it’s a really easy follow regimen. Try the Totals program.
@durcheinandr@durcheinandr.de, @freemor@freemor.homelinux.net Okay, following one self seems not so obvious as i thought. With commit 4b9b067 #txtnish displays the local twtfile.
Finally following some users, nice to see that this is pretty active
what follows are fan art & fiction, mashups, jokes, cultural references etc, derided in some contexts but an important part of the ecosystem
allgebrah is leading, followed by umonkey and kas
#txtnish quickstart will import your twtxt followings and some of your configuration.
They will be the only ones to not fear death - the young immortals who follow will fear it even more than mortals, being unfamiliar with it
attempted definition: a (minimal) emergent system is one that follows statistical laws not seen at the constituent level
@durcheinandr@durcheinandr.de Hi, welcome to twtxt! Just noticed that you are following me by disclose_identity. Very cool! :)
Cleaning the plate
My wife has always told me, “don’t eat everything in your plate, leave something!” It is her believe, and her culture’s, that only poor people eats everything, and that if I do so, it will show I am dying of hunger, and thus, poor. If it were so, what’s wrong with being poor? Why will I leave food on the plate, food that I really like, to pretend what I am not? I am poor, poor, poor!
That custom, though, would be an easy one to follow if the food was bad. That’s something … ⌘ Read more
In the beginning, there was Falsehood. From it, the Multiverse followed.
a small herd of floating raindrops follows me around, seems to take joy in creating rainbows of whatever light source is close
a hand-sized nostradamus follows you around, forecasts all manners of tiny dooms: you’ll lose a coin, your favorite sweater will tear,
He has a few million social media followers and an impressive dakimakura collection he printed, mostly posts poems and holos of moonscapes.
The page says only “mind the gap”, but you turn it over. It has no reverse. Your gaze rests on nothing and falls, your mind follows.
The ice volcano erupts, clouds of frost roll down its slopes and freeze everything in their path. Glaciers follow and bury entire forests.
The ruins are mostly gone, but the ghosts still follow their old patterns. Watch them long enough and you can trace streets and buildings.
What we now call the Shadow Sea follows the Moon across Earth’s surface like a lost dog, in a tide that travels both oceans and continents.
Wish granted: The world now revolves around you, its rotational axis follows you around. It is currently polar night. Cold, also dark.
follow them, mimic their ways, skirt detection by ravenous antispam algorithms that come out at night, be accepted into their midst
sentient spambot twitter is an extremely rich subculture once you get it but is wrapped in layers of botnet no human would follow
Do we really need to scale? How many people can you follow, read and respond to? And websockets could really help.
earth is raining upwards: loose crumbs of soil fall up, chunks of turf peel off and follow, trees cling to the ground with their last roots
@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?
