Twtxt was made for nerds, by nerds.
I’d like to change that. It’s by nerds/hackers, for nerds/hackers and friends of these. It doesn’t have to be hacky all the time, as you don’t need to be a nerd to have a blog.
But, for that to happen, someone has to build the tools to improve UX.by design there really is no way to easily discovers others
Yeah, I agree, and although there are directories of email addresses, usually you don’t want that, unless you are a ‘public figure’.
I couldn’t say that a microblogging is a “social network” by default, as a blog is not either. At the same time, people would expect to find new people and conversations, as you’d do in a forum.
I think of two features on top of the current spec:
- Clients showing a few posts of what your following are watching but you don’t, so perhaps you find something interesting to follow next. Or that feature of “Your ‘followings’ are following these accounts/people”. (Hard to explain in english, but I hope you get the idea)
- Sharing your .txt into some directory, saying “Hey, I have this twtxt URL, I want to be discovered”. I’m thinking of something like the Federated tab on Mastodon.

The PHP client did that originally, although I didn’t see a real benefit if you use… a client.
It could help if you read the .txt file through a browser or something. Also, not many clients are prepared to cut the request, and you can’t rely on the file being organized that way, so finally we dropped that feature.

@eapl.me@eapl.me Interesting! Two points stood right out to me:
Why the hell are e-mail newsletters considered a valid option in the first place? Just offer an Atom feed and be done with it! Especially for a blog of this very type. This doesn’t even involve a third party service. Although, in addition he also links to Feedburner, what the fuck!? No e-mail address or the like is needed and subject to being disclosed.
When these spam mailers want to prevent resubscribing, then for fuck’s sake, why don’t they use a hash of the e-mail address (I saw that in yarnd) for that purpose? Storing the e-mail address in clear text after unsubscribing is illegal in my book.
@prologic@twtxt.net In all seriousness: Don’t worry, I’m not going to host some Fediverse thingy at the moment, probably never will. 😅

- movq is concerned about the volatility of their data on their current Mastodon instance due to a broken “export data” feature.
- They contacted the admins, but the issue remains unresolved.
- This led them to contemplate self-hosting.

- kat suggests gotosocial as a lightweight alternative to Mastodon.
- movq agrees, and also mentions snac as a potential option.
- kat suggests gotosocial as a lightweight alternative to Mastodon.
- movq’s change of heart:
- movq ultimately decides that self-hosting any fediverse software, besides twtxt, is too much effort.
- movq ultimately decides that self-hosting any fediverse software, besides twtxt, is too much effort.
- Resolution and compromise:
- The Mastodon admins attribute the export failure to the size of movq’s account.
- movq decides to set their Mastodon account to auto-delete posts after approximately 180 days to manage data size.
- Movq also mentions that they use auto-expiring links on twtxt to reduce data storage.

The Mastodon admins say that it’s probably because of the size of my account (~600 MB), so the export process times out. And I understand that.

I think I’ll just set my Mastodon account to auto-delete posts after ~180 days or something like that. Nobody cares about old posts anyway.
