@darch@neotxt.dk this got me to thinking–since twt is a text-based format, it should be relatively straightforward to merge the history from one account into another. I haven’t thought through the implications of that for threads/yarns or whatever, but at least at the level of the data format it’s almost trivial to do. I wonder if that’s something to explore?
@abucci@anthony.buc.ci Actually it wouldn’t change any of the hashes at all. The old Twts from the previous feed’s URI would still remain in-tact. In the case of Yarn.social pods running yarnd
, they are also archived, the search engine running at search.twtxt.net running yarns
would also have indexed them already. Merging an old feed of yours from a different feed URI to a new one would have no impact whatsoever.
The only noticeable thing you would see at all is all of a sudden (assuming you followed the old feed and new feed) you would see otherwise identical replies to some “root” that looks like its from two different identifies (feeds)
