@justamoment@twtxt.net Iโ€™m actually working on it now ๐Ÿ˜… โ€“ But philosophically Iโ€™ve always believe (and still do) two things:

  • We really donโ€™t care about old content so much or what people said in the past
  • We really should get away from the notion of โ€œoh buy you said blah blahโ€

Elaborating on my 2nd opinion, it is dangerous to make it easy to pull up what someone said or had an opinion on in the past. What if they have since changed their mind? What if they no longer believe in what they once said? What if it was something stupid and nefarious person(s) can/will hold that โ€œpostโ€ accountable to them?

The reason yarnd does this sort of thing in the first place is two-fold:

  • Itโ€™s an optimization and keeps Pods limited in โ€œscaleโ€ (by design)
  • Itโ€™s a feature my old man talked to me about that I also believe in (see above).
