When it comes to performance issues, I honestly think the solution is just “don’t follow so many people”. You only pull the feeds you read, and once one’s feeds are too much for the computer to handle, they’ll almost certainly have far too much content for a person to actually read.
@kas@enotty.dk, @freemor@freemor.homelinux.net (re: finger) That’s another neat thing about twtxt, it totally independent of any transport layer. ipfs, zeronet, finger, as long as the protocol has an url we could follow the ressource.

@freemor@freemor.homelinux.net We tackle that problem when it arises. I’m currently following 60 (mostly dormant) users with 500k for all files with an update taking less than 2s.

#txtnish now requests gzipped pages if possible and you can call timeline with a single url to view the twtfile of someone you don’t follow.

@freemor@freemor.homelinux.net You have to set sync_followings to a remote plain text followings file. You can use we-are-twtxt, but any file will do. Better back up your followings before you test that. Seemed to work here, but who knows.

I stumbled upon darebee.com in an unrelated hn thread and i’m really impressed, it’s a really easy follow regimen. Try the Totals program.

@durcheinandr@durcheinandr.de, @freemor@freemor.homelinux.net Okay, following one self seems not so obvious as i thought. With commit 4b9b067 #txtnish displays the local twtfile.

Finally following some users, nice to see that this is pretty active
what follows are fan art & fiction, mashups, jokes, cultural references etc, derided in some contexts but an important part of the ecosystem

They will be the only ones to not fear death - the young immortals who follow will fear it even more than mortals, being unfamiliar with it
attempted definition: a (minimal) emergent system is one that follows statistical laws not seen at the constituent level

In the beginning, there was Falsehood. From it, the Multiverse followed.
a small herd of floating raindrops follows me around, seems to take joy in creating rainbows of whatever light source is close
a hand-sized nostradamus follows you around, forecasts all manners of tiny dooms: you’ll lose a coin, your favorite sweater will tear,
He has a few million social media followers and an impressive dakimakura collection he printed, mostly posts poems and holos of moonscapes.
The page says only “mind the gap”, but you turn it over. It has no reverse. Your gaze rests on nothing and falls, your mind follows.
The ice volcano erupts, clouds of frost roll down its slopes and freeze everything in their path. Glaciers follow and bury entire forests.
The ruins are mostly gone, but the ghosts still follow their old patterns. Watch them long enough and you can trace streets and buildings.
What we now call the Shadow Sea follows the Moon across Earth’s surface like a lost dog, in a tide that travels both oceans and continents.
Wish granted: The world now revolves around you, its rotational axis follows you around. It is currently polar night. Cold, also dark.
follow them, mimic their ways, skirt detection by ravenous antispam algorithms that come out at night, be accepted into their midst
sentient spambot twitter is an extremely rich subculture once you get it but is wrapped in layers of botnet no human would follow
Do we really need to scale? How many people can you follow, read and respond to? And websockets could really help.

earth is raining upwards: loose crumbs of soil fall up, chunks of turf peel off and follow, trees cling to the ground with their last roots
@kas@enotty.dk, @david@post.aldebaran.uberspace.de As long as I can still upload my hand edited twtfile on any webserver and someone can follow me, twtxt hasn’t lost its way. :)

@kdave@kdave.github.io The last commit will check for the environment variable TXTNIX_CONFIG_DIR but this won’t help if i move following to a state file.

But what to do with following? Are you hand editing it? Would it be okay to move the section to the state file?

The monks only leave the field for one hour each day to follow earthly urges.↵They weave their lives into the Dream and dream of its fabric.
When a storm has a flash of insight, it is followed by thunder. I ask, have you ever thundered with your brain? HAVE YOU?
I’m contemplating a announce_following option, disabled by default, to to anounce follow and unfollow commands in your twtfile.

I caught a cloud in the park this one foggy morning and took it home. Still shows no signs of dissipating and follows me around the house.

part 3: make ‘tf’ run ‘twtxt follow “$@”’
My site has made me really lazy with how I follow people on twtxt
@buckket did you consider having [following] in the twtxt file itself, so people could see who other people were following?
@ruebot I kinda wish the config was part of the twtxt file, so you could see who people are following
When the cheese factory burned, molten cheese flooded the streets and swallowed the slow. The fondue party that followed became a legend.
From the project’s success follows crushing uniformity. From its failure, we become richer in culture and mythos.
