Sounds like a good plan. When can we expect this; end of the month? :-P

In-reply-to » (#7dl5bsq) on timeline the mention looks OK. Is there an issue on Yarn?

@eapl.me@eapl.me I wouldn’t call it natural, it is the way Bluesky decided to handle handles (not meaning to make a pun, or anything). There is no other way, but that.

The bottomline is, there are agreed upon ā€œstandardsā€, right? From example, on Yarnd you show as ā€œeapl.meā€, from ā€œeapl.meā€. A kind of weird redundancy because on twtxt, ever since I started using it, one will expect to see a ā€œnickā€ (equivalent to a person’s first name), from ā€œa domainā€ (like a surname).

There is nothing holding back someone from giving themselves the nick:

thisismyawesomenickforwhichiwillbeknownforeverandeveritsgreatisntit

But, do we really want that? šŸ˜…

In-reply-to » Testing mentions, immediately followed by commas. Let's see: @prologic, this one is local, it might not break. Now, this one @movq, isn't local. Nor this @lyse, one. Will they break. Let's find out!

hehe, just catching up on this thread! I’ve replied in another that using periods/dots sounds good to me as it’s usual in domains, but perhaps some agreement would be needed. For now I think any character is valid as long as it is not a space.
For example we are using this for PHP twtxt.php#L153

In-reply-to » Today's stroll was really nice. Just around 11km in total I'd reckon. We had a barbie at a mate's garden where everybody went on a hunt for an easter basket. Oh boy, what a preparation that must have been! Baking the bunnies, dying the eggs, mixing the bear leek butter and so on. That's dedication, let me tell you. :-)

Ta, @prologic@twtxt.net! Assuming you mean 13, it’s just some old shed in an orchard. I reckon the owners keep some of their tools in there. They are all over the place around here. To me they look like they were all built like 50 odd years ago or maybe more, not sure. I could be completely wrong. I just like the look of them and actually wanted to capture the dark sky with the rolling in thunderstorm, but my camera had totally other plans. Didn’t work out at all.

on timeline the mention looks OK. Is there an issue on Yarn?

It’s an interesting topic. For example on Bsky it’s natural to allow domains https://bsky.social/about/blog/4-28-2023-domain-handle-tutorial

Although TwiXter only allows (letters A-Z, numbers 0-9 and of underscores)

In-reply-to » I open a discussion thread: why didn't the registers work? Will they work later? #twtxt

My Hypothesis for why registries didn’t work and why they still won’t really work today is because the bend the rules of ā€œtrueā€ decentralization a bit. Users have to pick one or more registries to ā€œregisterā€ to. Why would they want to do this? What is their incentive to do so? Then on the other hand, users need a client that has registry support, but now which registry or sets of registries do you choose?

In-reply-to » (#zwr3hiq) @andros maybe create a separate, completely distinct feed for DM? That way, clients do not need to do anything, only those wanted to "talk in private" follow themselves, using their very special dm-only.txt feeds. šŸ˜‚

by commenting out DMs are you giving up on simplicity? See the Metadata extension holding the data inside comments, as the client doesn’t need to show it inside the timeline.

I don’t think that commenting out DMs as we are doing for metadata is giving up on simplicity (it’s a feature already), and it helps to hide unwanted DMs to clients that will take months to add it’s support to something named… an extension.

For some other extensions in https://twtxt.dev/extensions.html (for example the reply-to hash #abcdfeg or the mention @ < example http://example.org/twtxt.txt >) is not a big deal. The twt is still understandable in plain text.
For DM, it’s only interesting for you if you are the recipient, otherwise you see an scrambled message like 1234567890abcdef=. Even if you see it, you’ll need some decryption to read it. I’ve said before that DMs shouldn’t be in the same section that the timeline as it’s confusing.

So my point stands, and as I’ve said before, we are discussing it as a community, so let’s see what other maintainers add to the convo.
