In-reply-to » @jmjl Hmm, how would that work in practice? Would jenny subscribe to the individual feeds of all those users (i.e., parse https://twtxt.tilde.institute/api/plain/users)? Or would it process the /tweets endpoint (https://twtxt.tilde.institute/api/plain/tweets)?

@jmjl@tilde.green Hmmmmmmm, I’m not sure. 🤔 Other than what @prologic@twtxt.net said, I think this could be one of those features that open the gates for spam. You don’t really have control anymore over which people you follow, so anyone could come along, push twts to that registry and thus spam your timeline. (Hence jenny would also need a mute feature.)

twtxt is very pull-based at the moment. In my eyes, this is a core feature. Making it push-based changes the game a lot. 🤔

I get the appeal, though. Discovering new people doesn’t work that well inside of twtxt. You need external tools for that.
