@movq@www.uninformativ.de @prologic@twtxt.net Another option would be: when you edit a twt, prefix the new one with (#[old hash]) and some indication that itās an edited version of the original tweet with that hash. E.g. if the hash used to be abcd123, the new version should start ā(#abcd123) (redit)ā.
What I like about this is that clients that donāt know this convention will still stick it in the same thread. And I feel itās in the spirit of the old pre-hash (subject) convention, though thatās before my time.
I guess it may not work when the edited twt itself is a reply, and there are replies to it. Maybe that could be solved by letting twts have more than one (subject) prefix.
But the great thing about the current system is that nobody can spoof message IDs.
I donāt think twtxt hashes are long enough to prevent spoofing.
