In-reply-to » 👋 Q&A: Let's discuss the removal of Editing and Deleting your last Twt. This is something @fastidious has raised to me on IRC and something I find quite a valid approach to this. Over time I believe the utility and value of "Editing" and "Deleting" one's last Twt isn't as valuable as we'd like and increased complexity and introduces all kinds of side-effects that are hard to manage correctly. I vote for the removal of this feature from yarnd, the mobile app nor API support this anyway...

Okay folks, how about this as a counter proposal:

  • You can edit or delete your last Twt as long as:
    • it hasn’t already been replied to on that Pod
    • it hasn’t already been fetched by remote clients
    • otherwise the UI will remain the same, only showing “Edit” / “Delete” on
      your last Twt if the above conditions are met.
  • You can edit and sync your feed via the yarnc sync (TBD) command or via the
    API /api/v1/sync (TBD) – Which is something I want to support anyway for
    backup purposes, import and enhanced flexibility, for example using a
    different command-line client like tt or jenny but syncing your feed to
    your Yarn hosted account on some Pod.

Thoughts? How does this sound in general @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org / @darch@twtxt.net re GDPR? 🤔
How does this sound UX wise to you @fastidious@twtxt.net / @thecanine@twtxt.net ?
