@bender@twtxt.net I barely used it myself, I get why we built it (link verification), but I’d rather just keep the other feature that strips tracking params on links.
@<bender bender@twtxt.net>
is currently wrong. The 2nd part of a mention is currently required to be a full absolute URI.
@bender@twtxt.net Bahahahahaha
@<bender bender@twtxt.net>

@bender@twtxt.net My apologies 😅 I was just being “human” and saying “over there @aelaraji@aelaraji.com said this” 🤣
@thecanine@twtxt.net I think I might just remove this feature entirely. What do you think? The link verification think that is.
@thecanine@twtxt.net Uggh no, that’s not right. That seems like a bug with the external ink verification feature. Can you go into your Settings and turn that off and try again? 🙏
@bender Thank you! 🙏 I’ll see about fixing this. If you can submit a PR maybe that would be good! 👍
@falsifian@www.falsifian.org Thanks 🙏
@cuaxolotl@sunshinegardens.org Okay you are right. I’m not being very specific, but intentionally very broad and my statement is generalized that’s true. There are so many examples and issues to talk about, if we did, we’d be here a while 😅 Let’s just agree that we both agree on extremism not really being a good thing and leave it at that 🤣
@Codebuzz@www.codebuzz.nl It currently takes my yarnd
pod here around ~2m on average to fetch, process and cache ~700 feeds.
As @aelaraji@aelaraji.com points out, this @<bender bender@twtxt.net>
is currently wrong. The 2nd part of a mention is currently required to be a full absolute URI.
@Codebuzz@www.codebuzz.nl Here you go:

@thecanine@twtxt.net It works. What’s this pop up you’re seeing?
@aelaraji@aelaraji.com I didn’t look, so that’s why it’s not rendering because it’s not an actual URL.
@cuaxolotl@sunshinegardens.org Good enough 😅 LMK if I can help in any way then, what I built isn’t perfect, but the crawler is able to crawl the entire space in ~15m or so (every day)
@rrraksamam@twtxt.net Oh hey! 👋
@cuaxolotl@sunshinegardens.org The reason I ask is that I maintain the Twtxt search engine and crawler service that basically does exactly this, so I’m curious what you’re trying to solve by doing this yourself? Not that that’s a bad idea. I just want to understand what you are trying to achieve. 🤗
@cuaxolotl@sunshinegardens.org OK fine to be more specific. The problem I have with both religion and politics is they both often influence people or groups of people to either extremes.
@cuaxolotl@sunshinegardens.org I agree religion in and of itself is about as bad as politics in my view.
@cuaxolotl@sunshinegardens.org This is largely by accident and not on purpose:
Lately I’ve been browsing twtxt.net since they aggregate most of the known network
@cuaxolotl@sunshinegardens.org what problem does building a social graph solve?
@cuaxolotl@sunshinegardens.org Just talking about regular mentions here.
@Codebuzz@www.codebuzz.nl how did you end up with a broken incomplete mention here? 🤔
Alternatively, if you prefer yarnd to pretty-print all twts nicely, even ones from simpler clients, that’s fine too and you don’t need to change anything. My ¼ -> ¼ thing is nothing more than a minor irritation which probably isn’t worth overthinking.
Yeah I’ve closed the PR, I just wanted to write it up and see what we all thought. Much easier to talk to a concrete spec proposal sometimes. I realised as I was writing it too that it wasn’t really going to achieve much in practise. I think we all agree 👍
What’s wrong with my original suggestion of doing the transformation before the text hits the twtxt.txt file? @prologic, I think it would achieve what you are trying to achieve with this content-type thing: if someone writes ¼ on a yarnd instance or any other client that wants to do this, it would get transformed, and other clients simply wouldn’t do the transformation. Every client that supports displaying unicode characters, including Jenny, would then display ¼ as ¼.
So many clients do client-side transformation already, mostly in the form of @-mentions. e.g: If I @falsifian@www.falsifian.org mention you, that gets transformed into the full proper Twtxt mention syntax. We could in theory transform other things too, but I see little value in doing so? 🤔 – Also it’s probably more a “Client” recommendation anyway at that point right?
@falsifian@www.falsifian.org Only that this rendering behavior comes from yarnd
’s Markdown parser library that is used:
What has text/markdown got to do with this? I don’t think Markdown says anything about replacing ¼ with ¼, or other similar transformations. It’s not needed, because ¼ is already a unicode character that can simply be directly inserted into the text file.
