Purity is shitty praxis: if you want to stop tracking, you need to complain on a site with tracking.

@nblade@nblade.sdf.org: It’s just an idea. Not a clean one thoug, as clients would not know upfront who serves such a fiele and who not. Another idea would ne to mix a number of random followers into the twtxt file, which are updated when a person tweets.
@sdk@codevoid.de That’s an interesting thought. I Know most are text files but at one time there was someone that used a python CGI Script. That person would have had to make a script for the follows.

One of these nightmares, you kill the antagonist, eat his body. Your nightmares stop, but now that person you’re chasing has your face
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.

You can try but your personal firing patterns will be mostly illegible to anyone else’s brain. Perfect end-to-end DRM will be solved then.
Afterwards, it’s sent back with fresh memories. Repeat for a while, and a shared personality should emerge, something that is both of you.
