IMHO, the original spec had it right when it said (paraphrased) “just upload your tw.txt file wherever”. The essence of micro-blogging, as opposed to full-scale blogging, is low friction and low stakes. Imposing a norm that you can’t just use any ol’ url, looking down on people with insufficently cool urls (as in “Cool URIs don’t change” https://www.w3.org/Provider/Style/URI), puts up too much of a barrier to entry.

It really bugs me when a Web site for a tool has a link called “How It Works”, but the actual information behind that link is “how to use”. A set of operating instructions for a tool and an explanation of the principles that enable the tool to function are two very different things.

Some more arguments for a local-based treading model over a content-based one:

1. The format: (#<DATE URL>) or (@<DATE URL>) both makes sense: # as prefix is for a hashtag like we allredy got with the (#twthash) and @ as prefix denotes that this is mention of a specific post in a feed, and not just the feed in general. Using either can make implementation easier, since most clients already got this kind of filtering.

2. Having something like (#<DATE URL>) will also make mentions via webmetions for twtxt easier to implement, since there is no need for looking up the #twthash. This will also make it possible to make 3th part twt-mentions services.

3. Supporting twt/webmentions will also increase discoverability as a way to know about both replies and feed mentions from feeds that you don’t follow.

The only thing we need to say to any liberal that calls for “unity” to “stop the rise of fascism” is “France 2024”.
