Just discovered @lucidiot@tilde.townâs feed and am very saddened to see anyone take this position
#Yarn.social is NOT trying to take anything over or become a âmonopolyâ đ¤Śââď¸
Whoâs going to tell him that the metadata fields are a Yarn extension?
@mckinley@twtxt.net Well, sort of? Iâve been using them (copying or adapting and extending from what I saw others do) since before yarn.social was a thing. Yarn doesnât (and shouldnât) have the monopoly of âusing twtxt comments how we likeâ.
@prologic@twtxt.net well, I think thatâs something coming along with fame from Yarn and freedom from them. Some people like to stay with simpler things even if they are obsolete, incompatible, and such. They has an option to not follow an improvement and to stay with the version 1.0 of the spec, and thatâs OK in my book.
I agree to disagree, even if I really like the extensions, letâs say 1.1, not being able to communicate with people following forks or modern protocols. Their loss.

No one using Yarn extensions, it seems
@prologic@twtxt.net @eaplmx@twtxt.net To be fair, the only thing I can think of that makes Yarn feeds not be âstandard twtxtâ is the disregard for twt size (which many others also do with their non-yarn clients). But sure, I can see how reading these feeds might be frustrating: too big posts, markdown everywhere, linebreak characters, emojis⌠But Iâll consider it the âfreedom of the userâ to decide whether or not to follow a feed written in a certain style. The provocative metadata comment? Easy (and better) to just ignore.
and very often it comes from people rather that tech or specs.
Could be something like
âI donât like ~prologic and/or I donât like yarn.social, I wonât use that because I like things by my wayâ
Itâs stupid, Iâve felt that, and now I try to ignore it a bit, itâs bad for our health to listen every feedback, IMO đ¤ˇââď¸
@marado@tilde.pt well, I find thatâs a problem of leaving that open. Using should vs must. Leaves that to different interpretations.

A status should consist of up to 140 characters, longer status updates are technically possible but discouraged. twtxt will warn the user if a newly composed status update exceeds this limit, and it will also shorten incoming status updates by default.
@prologic@twtxt.net you once told me in #xu4dh4q
letâs remember that textual forms of communication sometimes donât carry intent very well let alone emotion
I was grateful at that moment b/c I was personally engaged with someone I disagreed on their vision of the world and way to say things.
Perhaps you are being emotional to some random person (I donât know if itâs a friend of yours) saying Yarn is a monopoly. Maybe is uninformed. Perhaps they doesnât want to change. It could be their way to cope with their boring life. IDK.
Yeah, itâs frustrating when you do something with love, tender, spare time and itâs rejected or receives bad adjectives. Iâve been there with games.
I could only say, take it from who it comes from.

I could only say, take it from who it comes from. Itâs not easy when your head is hot, but a few days later it wonât be a big deal.
