Is there something already developed, for example on yarn.social?
Let’s say I want to notify https://sour.is/tiktok/America/Denver.txt that I’ve replied to some twt. They don’t follow me back, so they won’t see my reply.
I would send my URL to, could be, https://sour.is/tiktok/replies?url=MY_URL and they’ll check that I have a reply to some of their twts, and could decide to follow me back (after seeing my twtxt profile to avoid spam)
Another option could be having a metadata like
follow-request=https://sour.is/tiktok/America/Denver.txt TIMESTAMP_IN_SECONDS
that the other client has to look for, to ensure that the request comes from that URL (again, to avoid spam)
This could be deleted after the other .txt has your URL in the follow list, or auto-expire after X days to clean-up old requests.

I'm curious. How many people truly believe blockchain social networks are the future?
⤋ Read More
@rrraksamam@twtxt.net I honestly dislike web3 platforms, and especially blockchain social media.
It’s just filled with people trying to make a dollar. That is always the focus on those blockchain based social media sites. I like what I can host my self, no money or tokens \ crypto involved etc.
Tried nostr for a while, but I cannot get into that either. Only reason it’s popular is because of jack (that’s just my opinion), and they are always pushing bitcoin lightning network there - and I get tired of that pretty fast.
I’m curious. How many people truly believe blockchain social networks are the future?
NFTs, tokens, monetization, revenue…
I’m sorry, but how are your random social media blabbers worth any money?
Unless you’re Shakespeare or Einstein or some philosophical or scientific genius, I don’t see why anyone would want to read your posts, let alone cash out some “crypto” from some “wallet”.
And that applies to most people. Sure, your lifestyle and your thoughts may be interesting. But who’s going to start paying to view what’s going on in your life?
As if likes, upvotes, hearts, and subscriptions weren’t narcissistic enough, let’s make people think someone wants to pay them with crypto to view their random posts online.

@xuu@txt.sour.is @prologic@twtxt.net Yarn.social without threading (as it would be the case in a “truncated” feed) does not make sense to me.
Put another way: Yarn.social is not twtxt. The content that we all have in our feeds really is much closer to a web forum or usenet or whatever. It’s threaded conversations. twtxt, as I believe it was originally intended, are short little status updates – that’s it. The formats of Yarn.social and twtxt might be very similar, but the content is vastly different and, in a way, incompatible. (As such, I think I understand very well that the original twtxt crowd is disgruntled.)
That proposed truncated feed doesn’t really provide any value, if you ask me. 🤔 It’d just be chaotic.
💡 Quick ‘n Dirty prototype Yarn.social protocol/spec:
If we were to decide to write a new spec/protocol, what would it look like?
Here’s my rough draft (back of paper napkin idea):
- Feeds are JSON file(s) fetchable by standard HTTP clients over TLS
- WebFinger is used at the root of a user’s domain (or multi-user) lookup. e.g:
prologic@mills.io->https://yarn.mills.io/~prologic.json
- Feeds contain similar metadata that we’re familiar with: Nick, Avatar, Description, etc
- Feed items are signed with a ED25519 private key. That is all “posts” are cryptographically signed.
- Feed items continue to use content-addressing, but use the full Blake2b Base64 encoded hash.
- Edited feed items produce an “Edited” item so that clients can easily follow Edits.
- Deleted feed items produced a “Deleted” item so that clients can easily delete cached items.

👋 Hey y’all yarners 🤗 – @darch@neotxt.dk and I have been discussing in our Weekly Yarn.social call (still ongoing… come join us! 🙏) about the experimental Yarn.social <-> Activity Pub integration/bridge I’ve been working on… And mostly whether it’s even a good idea at al, and if we should continue or not?
There are still some outstanding issues that would need to be improved if we continued this regardless
Some thoughts being discussed:
- Yarn.social pods are more of a “family”, where you invite people into your “home” or “community”
- Opening up to the “Fedivise” is potentially “uncontrolled”
- Even at a small scale (a tiny dev pod) we see activities from servers never interacted with before
- The possibility of abuse (because basically anything can POST things to your Pod now)
- Pull vs. Push model polarising models/views which whilst in theory can be made to work, should they?
Go! 👏

suggests to me you want to leave the subject/acct bit as is (don’t add prefixes) and put extra information you care to include in the links section, where you’re free to define the rel URIs however you see fit. The notion here is that webfinger is offering a mapping from an account name to additional information about that account, so if anything you’d use a "subject": "acct:SALTY ACCOUNT_REPRESENTATION" line in the JSON to achieve what you’re saying if you don’t want to do that via links.

@prologic@twtxt.net That was exactly my thought at first too. but what do we put as the rel for salty account? since it is decentralized we dont have a set URL for machines to key off. so for example take the standard response from okta:
# http GET https://example.okta.com/.well-known/webfinger resource==acct:bob
{
"links": [
{
"href": "https://example.okta.com/sso/idps/OKTA?login_hint=bob#",
"properties": {
"okta:idp:type": "OKTA"
},
"rel": "http://openid.net/specs/connect/1.0/issuer",
"titles": {
"und": "example"
}
}
],
"subject": "acct:bob"
}
It gives one link that follows the OpenID login. So the details are specific to the subject acct:bob.
Mastodons response:
{
"subject": "acct:xuu@chaos.social",
"aliases": [
"https://chaos.social/@xuu",
"https://chaos.social/users/xuu"
],
"links": [
{
"rel": "http://webfinger.net/rel/profile-page",
"type": "text/html",
"href": "https://chaos.social/@xuu"
},
{
"rel": "self",
"type": "application/activity+json",
"href": "https://chaos.social/users/xuu"
},
{
"rel": "http://ostatus.org/schema/1.0/subscribe"
}
]
}
it supplies a profile page and a self which are both specific to that account.

Trying to wrap my head around webfinger..
my first thoughts about it were that a subject of acct:me@sour.is would have a listing of rel’s for the different accounts that are related to me (ie. yarn, salty, twitter, mastodon, etc…)
but maybe my thinking is at the wrong level.. that each of those accounts would be on a subject level and the rels are describing different aspects of that account. so i would have salty:acct:xuu@sour.is, twitter:acct:xuu, mastodon:acct:xuu@chaos.social, yarn:acct:xuu@ev.sour.is and then i could have a main acct:me@sour.is that links them together as aliases.
I found okta will do something similar with its accounts to show as okta:acct:user@domain so maybe I am on to something?

 a tweet refers to or to reply to a tweet without going to a yarn.social pod. Compare with re: in this tweet which can be written without using any client at all
I decided to become popular in decentralized social networks. 1. Pixelfed: https://pixelfed.social/win0err — mostly landscape photography; 2. Mastodon: https://mastodon.online/@win0err — software engineering content
Twitter has a new “social platforms” policy… is it maddening? Hilarious? Ridiculous? All of the above? I laughed, but to be clear, I don’t think ‘funny’ is a good way to describe it.

PSA: DMs on social media sites are not truely PMs. This is why we have a separate tool for private messaging from yarn. Always remember, if you don’t own the infra (or the parts at the ends of e2e encryption) you don’t own the data. and the true owners can view it any way they want!
