Hello everyone! 👋
After a long while away, I’m back on twtxt with this new feed.
Some of you might remember me as justamoment@twtxt.net, that was a test account I made for trying things out, but I ended up keeping it more than planned.
I also tried other social platforms in search of a place that felt right for me.
In the end twtxt was the one that ticked all of my boxes:
- Slow social: it act more like a feed reader and I really appreciate that there’s no flood of content that I can’t keep up with.
- No server needed: I absolutely love to have total control over my content, I tend to avoid having moving parts that might break, plus you can put your feed under version control and it’s all backed up.
- Ownership: I can put my feed anywhere I want and nobody can decide if I can access it or not.
- For hackers: a single .txt file allows me to join a community, how cool is that!
This is why I decided to build my own twtxt client, one that allows you to decide how the feed is presented on your “instance”.
It’s still in the making but I’ll try to share a bit of it once I defined how things should work.
Coincidentally, I discovered that @itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com and @zvava@twtxt.net were also building a twtxt client, seems like twtxt is set to grow!
