@bender@twtxt.net Re that broken thread (#bqor23a). Its the same one. My pod doesn’t have the Root Twt: https://twtxt.net/twt/bqor23a => 404 Not Found.
How in the hell did you even reply to this in the first place?
Search engine doesn’t know about it either: https://search.twtxt.net/twt/bqor23a
@prologic@twtxt.net yes, it has gotten kind of messy. Someone deleted/edited. That’s the only explanation.
@bender@twtxt.net Hmm I think I know why…
2024-09-27T01:28:53+00:00 (#bqor23a) @<cuaxolotl https://sunshinegardens.org/~xj9/twtxt/tw.txt> Wait, what!? We're dropping Gemini support!?
From @aelaraji@aelaraji.com’s feed. I think @cuaxolotl@sunshinegardens.org doesn’t do threading properly, I’ve run into this once before. I’m not sure what client they use? 🤔
Yup confirmed!
# url = //sunshinegardens.org/~xjix/twtxt/tw.txt
# url = https://sunshinegardens.org/~xjix/twtxt/tw.txt
# url = gemini://sunshinegardens.org/~xjix/twtxt/tw.txt
@cuaxolotl@sunshinegardens.org has changed the url of their feed (yet again) and changed every hash in their feed.
@antonio@twtxt.net is right to call this out. We should drop the reliance on the # url metadata field and in fact we should probably just drop this entirely from the spec and go with # uuid as the basis of a feed’s identity.
Even though this happens very rarely (feeds moving to new locations) it more frequently happens with folks that try to serve their feed from Gopher, HTTP and Gemini.
Either way, it is the last time I do something like this. It turns on my fastidiousness, and kind of makes me feel uneasy. Will pause a bit longer from now on.
This is confirmed to be the case:
$ for url in gemini://sunshinegardens.org/~xjix/twtxt/tw.txt https://sunshinegardens.org/~xjix/twtxt/tw.txt //sunshinegardens.org/~xjix/twtxt/tw.txt; do yarnc hash -t '2024-09-26T11:09:28-07:00' -u "$url" "if twtxt 2 is dropping gemini support, i will probably move on and spend more time on my gemini social zine protocol instead. i think the direction of the protocol is probably fine, but for me web is a tier 2 publishing channel. if the choice is between gemini and http i'm always going to pick gemini. its been a fun ride, but i guess this is where i get off."; done

Oh, and I think I said this before, but just in case, fuck Gemini. Hell, fuck Gopher too. Bring on telnet, and UCCP. 😈
