In-reply-to » @Codebuzz I really like this idea of just using the Feed's # nick as a sort of "identifier". This gets us out of this mess of when feeds move locations or authors decide to host on 3 or 4 different protocols 🤣 Downside? Something picks the same nick?

When Bob gets their replies, his client is unable to figure out that #b795meh and #431barf refer to the same twt - since hashes are one-way, Bob cannot recover the original urls from the hash and run them through his url-equivalence-checker.
