@movq@www.uninformativ.de Or folks could choose to not host their feeds over inferior protocols 😂

It isn’t just the User-Agent that doesn’t work either, Last-Modified, If-Modified-Since, Range requests, HEAD and so on 🤣 You know useful things 🤦‍♂️

@fastidious@arrakis.netbros.com Bahahahah I hope anyone knows I wasn’t being serious, I was jesting of course 😂 But in all seriousness though both gopher:// and gemini:// are “crippled” protocols in my opinion, and that’s fine, they were designed that way. Just don’t expect us to bend over backwards to support things like:

• Who fetched my feed
  
• Please only fetch me if I’ve actually changed
  
• Please just fetch from where you were last at
  
• Do I even exist?
  

And so on… 😅

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Sure no worries. And I agree, that’s why I love Twtxt (the spec) as well, it is so simple to work with and build clients, tools, search engines, ecosystems and all sorts of things – Even if the “components” I’m building are “complex” per se; the protocols/specs used are quite simple 👌
