↳ In-reply-to » 💡 Quick 'n Dirty prototype Yarn.social protocol/spec:

@marado@twtxt.net See, even if we (for example) did something to change the behaviour of yarnd such that it:

1. produced a twtxt.txt feed that stripped \u2028 so all posts are single-line.
   
2. converted Markdown to “plain text”
   
3. limited posts to 140 characters
   

Would this make few that scream and shout the loudest happier that Yarn is more properly using Twtxt? 🤔 Would Yarn then be considered to be using Twtxt as-it-is/was intended? 🤔

Of course this would have the side effect of:

• Your longer posts would now be truncated and meaningless.
  
• Posting links to images would no longer work.
  
• Threading would no non-existent.
  

And so we’re back to square one, where Twtxt as-it-was-is intended is a spec that whilst on its own useful for a very limited number of use-cases it lacks certain features that make microBlogging and interacting with others viable.
