There are very good technical reasons for this design, but there are also very good human reasons for this too .

As my old man said to me many moons ago when I was first designing this (he helped and contributed ideas here!):

If I said something X ago, I don’t want someone to say “Hey but X ago you said this”. What if I’ve changed my mind since then and now have a different opinion?

I’m paraphrasing here of course, we talk regularly on the phone, but a lot of ideas ans inspiration has come from my Dad 👌 – The idea here is that Humans forget, so should Yarn.social

Can we agree that we just need to be able to search a pod’s archive and load up older Tats/Yarns if we so choose? Aside from plausible deniability and the philosophy of forgetting, this is still very important for performance and efficiency reasons too 👌

@david@netbros.com I think to so. It’s the very next thing that’ll be worked on after I get this fucking websub thing right. It’s still not quite right god damnit.

Note the number of “confirmed” subscriptions is 11 less than it should be? 🤔

@mckinley@twtxt.net You make a good point there, @advid too 👌 So hmmmm 🤔 (listen to the community I shall)
