Been clearing out my pod a bit and blocking unwanted domains that are basically either a) just noise and/or b) are just 1-way (whose authors never reply or are otherwise unaware of the larger ecosystem)
Let me know if y’all have any other candidates you’d like me to add to the blocked domain list?
@prologic@twtxt.net haven’t seeing a cleaner timeline for two, or three years. Excellent job! I will ping this yarn if I come across any candidate.
@bender@twtxt.net You’re welcome 🤣
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Thanks! 🙇♂️
@prologic@twtxt.net Your position doesn’t make any sense: it’s closing down and arbitrarily limiting the use of the Twtxt protocol. One more reason not to use https://twtxt.net/
@dfaria@twtxt.net And here I thought you never or we’re not capable (client?) of interacting with other users? 🤣
@dfaria@twtxt.net And btw, even if I block a feed or whole domain, it doesn’t stop you from following. it just removes it from the “Discover” view.
@dfaria@twtxt.net Cancelling is a strong word. I’d you follow your other feed yourself it’s still visible to you!
This whole exercise just reenforces that the idea of the “Discover” view was and is a terrible idea. 😢
@dfaria@twtxt.net Sorry this has pissed you off so much (unintentional) – Also why the irrational outburst?! 😱 That’s no way to have discourse or help improve anything 🤦♂️
If you have ideas for improvement we’re all ears 👂
@dfaria@twtxt.net the difference is that these other servers does not post several times a day with content that are not informative/interesting to people outside your academic context, which can be perceived as noise.
What @prologic@twtxt.net have done is what I would call curation of the service he offers to the world for free (as in beer). It’s no one right to have their posts syndicated to the frontpage of twtxt.net, it’s simply a gift he gives to the world and he is free (as in speak) to wrap is anyway he sees fit.
@dfaria.eu@dfaria.eu I hope you stay around 🌞
@sorenpeter@darch.dk Thanks for your positivity and support ! 🤗 This is exaxrly spot on, however I also realize getting things “right” is actually quite hard 😅
@dfaria@twtxt.net Appreciate this 👌 Right now the algorithm is quite dumb – and I’d also hate to develop any algorithm that abuses any data from users. So definately needs to be things like:
