@prologic@twtxt.net Wikipedia claims sha1 is vulnerable to a “chosen-prefix attack”, which I gather means I can write any two twts I like, and then cause them to have the exact same sha1 hash by appending something.

I think there is progress being made with Game Of Trees, a git clone that uses the same on-disk format.
I can’t imagine any benefit to using sha1, except that maybe some very old software might support sha1 but not sha256.
