↳ In-reply-to » I’m still more in favor of (replyto:…). It’s easier to implement and the whole edits-breaking-threads thing resolves itself in a “natural” way without the need to add stuff to the protocol.

@sorenpeter@darch.dk Yes, fully agreed.

Personally, I am not really concerned about malicious actors here. Some may see that as naive. But if someone turns out to be an idiot, I unfollow their feed and delete my replies to them, done. (Something like (replyto:…) would even make it trivial to find all my replies to a particular feed and nuke them. Could be done with sed.)

For the same reason, GPG signed feeds never took off. It just doesn’t matter. twtxt is small and nieche and that won’t change anytime soon, I think. We only have to make sure that we don’t open the gates for massive spam and I think we’re safe on that.

It’s easy to get lost in these scenarios and overshoot the target.
