@itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com Then by all means, follow the instructions at https://git.mills.io/prologic/parley and setup your own instance on your own domain. It’s partly inspired by Twtxt/Yarn.social and Salty.im – in at least the way teh DNS discovery and WKID works. Once your instance is up and running and you’ve gone through the /setup and created yourself an account (or seti it up with an appropraite ODIC IDP) try something like /msg james@mills.io Hey! at which point you should automatically start peering with my instance. You should then be able to /join #lobby1 (a globally federated channel already across 2 instances so far). 🤞

⚠️ For anyone that signs up on Yarn.social’s multi-user twtd multi-tenant platform I’m runnign on twtpub.com – Be warned. I will delete your account if you create it for the soles purposes of link squatting, spam, link harvesting, seo marketing, or any other useless fucktarrd crap.

To the spammers and would-be assholes of the world: You have been wanred. Don’t abuse my generosity.

it’s all I ask

@fossham@twtpub.com I honestly think the most unique and interesting thing about doing this at all is that it is in fact inspired directly by Twtxt / Yarn.social itself – That is to say, I am confident I can do this in such a way as to be “truly decentralised”, no inter-networking like ActivityPub, no centraised forges like Github or Codeberg. You run your instance, I run mine, we just are able to collaborate. Think exchanging patches over Email, just without all the hard-to-learn ways to do that (enough though it’s not hard for some of us, but still).

I am finally building a Twtxt / Yarn.social inspired Git forge. I’m actually quite confident that y’all will quite like it, but I won’t post links yet until I’m quietly confident in its design, functionality and behaviour(s).

Stay tuned 🤞 It’ll be like no other Git forge you’ve ever seen! 🤣 Actually, it’s already more like cgit than anything with plain text feeds that power it’s “pure decentralization” as you can no doubt imagine 😅 #twtxt #git #forge

@jastas@twtpub.com That’s me! 👋 Haha 😆 Welcome to Yarn.social / Twtxt 🙌

@fossham@twtpub.com Hey 👋 Welcome to Yarn.social / Twtxt 👌

@smmbear@twtpub.com Hey 👋 Welcome to Yarn.social / Twtxt 👌 Just in case you are not ware a) spam is not really tolerated by this community and b) doesn’t work anyway, you’ll just be ignored, and there are exactly zero ways to promote spam or advertise on this social system – on purpose.

@murad@twtxt.net Welcome to Yarn.social / Twtxt 🥳 You might want to fiddle a bit with your settings, maybe a nice avatar, description, maybe a few links, etc 😃

@creeper@twtpub.com Hey ! 👋 Welcome to Yarn.social / Twtxt 🤗

@brytboi@twtpub.com Hey! 👋 Welcome to Yarn.social / Twtxt 🤗

@mariam@twtpub.com Hey! 👋 Welcome to Yarn.social / Twtxt 🤗

@chrisgarrod@twtpub.com Hello 👋 Welcome to Yarn.social / Twtxt 🙌

@thoshi@yarn.thoshis.net Welcome to the Yarn.social / Twtxt ecosystem 🙌

@ponderpoints@twtpub.com Welcome to Yarn.social 👋 Interesting video, I actually watched it all the way through, riverting stuff really and quite well put together. The idea of “subjective experience” is a rather complicated thing to describe and you’re right, how do we even know we have them? 🤔

@movq@www.uninformativ.de yeah it’s one of the fundamental principles of Yarn social and everything that I’ve poured into the ecosystem that we’ve collectively built here over the last, What is it six or seven years now?

Hello everyone ! 👋 Behold I bring you (after many years) the launch of the Twtxt App 😅 – Ye, this is a Desktop and Mobile app built as a Progressive Web App (PWA) using a little framework (Swag) I put together iafter some experiments @xuu@txt.sour.is and I did in Go and HTMX and Service Workers.

The App is offline-first and supports installing to Desktop and Mobile (add to Home screen) and supports a number of publishing backends, including Yarn.social’s yarnd Pod, Github, Codeberg/Gitea, and a little tiny twtd Twtxt server (See: https://git.mills.io/yarnsocial/twtd).

Please try it out, no need for any account(s) or such, works with your existing feed(s) (as long as the publishing backends work well enough for you!). Please give me feedback! 🙏

Also, did you know the Twtxt Search Engine is back? 🎉

🥳 NEW FEED: @Yarn@yarn.social

@’s Arcade@gabesarcade.com Welcome to Twtxt / Yarn.social 😅

@balloonfu-sen@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Oh! You’re running Yarn.social’s yarnd? 😅 That’s why I was able to see your reply so quickly/easily ! Nice! And welcome! 🙏

@prologic@twtxt.net OMG, the yarn.social creator himself replied, what an honor!

Someone on #twtxt or #yarn.social on IRC told me to use a client that supports extensions and replies. Uhh… Client? I’m writing my microblogging by hand! (Hides in a very weird mix of pride and shame)

I can track users’ feeds now

@prologic@twtxt.net I’d happily write API documentation for go.yarn.social/client

@movq@www.uninformativ.de the ‘writing a Yarn client’ thought goes all the way back to my ‘novaburst’ days in Yarn.social, but with the other pod apparently being gone, there’s no proof of it, except on everyone’s minds.

@arne@uplegger.eu @lukas@lukasthiel.de In fact, Yarn.social’s yarnd client implementation actually uses (or did, still kinda does today) PicoCSS 🤟 It was/is a good CSS library! 👍

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org @bender@twtxt.net that’s also what Yarn.social’s logo is, and just happens to be the yarnd default. Hmmm figured times for a change? 🤔

Scheduling the next Yarn.social Call for next month, a month in advance. Hope y’all can make the next one 🤞

Let’s do it! 🤟 https://meet.mills.io/call/Yarn.social

@prologic@twtxt.net hmmm:

Firefox can’t establish a connection to the server at wss://meet.mills.io/ws/Yarn.social/l3oVrknUnjZo2zSQoGlOX3.

Oh, also, have you fixed https://meet.mills.io/call/Yarn.social already? It didn’t work the other day.

And I need to make something absolutely clear as well here. Twtxt was completely and utterly dead back in {Aug 2020](https://yarn.social/about.html) when I came across the spec and its simplicity and realised the lost opportunity. Since then we’ve continued to grow a small but thriving community. The extensions we’ve built over time have stood and lasted the test of time for the past ~5 years. We need not break things too badly, because what we have today and was designed years ago actually works quite well™ (despite some flaws).

@zvava@twtxt.net I reckon there’s currently nobody working on v2. Which timezone are you in? Just post your questions here or head over to #yarn.social at libera.chat for a more realtime conversation via IRC.

@zvava@twtxt.net Hey 👋 Welcome to Yarn.social 🤗

@dce@hashnix.club these are some of the same reasons that I enjoy Yarn.social/Twtxt 🙌

@Yarn@yarn.social yo, what’s up? I am busy running my business here!

Hello @Yarn.social@yarn.social 👋 (testing something)

Finally I propose that we increase the Twt Hash length from 7 to 12 and use the first 12 characters of the base32 encoded blake2b hash. This will solve two problems, the fact that all hashes today either end in q or a (oops) 😅 And increasing the Twt Hash size will ensure that we never run into the chance of collision for ions to come. Chances of a 50% collision with 64 bits / 12 characters is roughly ~12.44B Twts. That ought to be enough! – I also propose that we modify all our clients and make this change from the 1st July 2025, which will be Yarn.social’s 5th birthday and 5 years since I started this whole project and endeavour! 😱 #Twtxt #Update

@twtxtory@twtxtory.adn.org.es Hello 👋 Welcome to Yarn.social / Twtxt 😅

I’m thinking of building a hardened peering protocol for Yarn.social’s yarnd: pods establish cryptographic identities, exchange signed /info and /twt payloads with signature verification, ensuring authenticity, integrity, and spoof-proof identity validation across the distributed network.

what is twtxt for you?

For me Twtxt is just the underlying format that Yarn.social builds upon 😅

@kate@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz (as I was trying to say…), Glad you think so👌 My goal with Yarn.social has always been to provide the best (best that I can anyway) truly decentralised (slow) social experience that uses the Twtxt format under the hood 😅
