It only took me 5 days :)
@mckinley@twtxt.net Now do one on Twtxt vs. Activity Pub and then Mastodon vs. Yarn.social 😅
@prologic@twtxt.net I’d like to write about twtxt at some point but I’m not very familiar with Mastodon and ActivityPub. Maybe you should write that one :)
@mckinley@twtxt.net Haha 😅
I love the “RSS appear to have been duct-taped to the specification as an afterthought” part.
@mckinley@twtxt.net @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org The link rel bit is because the feed can have relative urls. ie, if it is on http://example.com/feed, in can have somewhere in there a
for eg.. If I download that feed I to my hard-drive and then try to render it, I need to know that “icon.jpg” is relative to http://example.com/feed, ie, that I will find it at http://example.com/icon.jpg (and not locally, next to the feed file I downloaded).
I hope my explanation makes sense…
