(#c6yyvda) @mckinley 😆 No one using Yarn extensions, it seems

(#c6yyvda) @abucci I completely agree. It's the same sort of thing you've even brought up before in other contexts. This is just not cool, its poor etiquette, its rude, its offensive, etc. This just sucks 😢

(#c6yyvda) Woa, go easy, mate! Don't be upset, @prologic. Everybody can use whatever they want, or not. That's absolutely their free choice. From my point of view @lucidiot's statement is just like ranting about any other shitty¹ software or topic in general. Precisely like that, not more, not less. Just this time it's something you've built. I've written some of the extensions, but I don't feel offended at all. It's just an offer we make, not everybody has to accept it. That's just the way it goes. And it is good this way. ¹: like everything else, this is highly subjective

(#c6yyvda) @prologic why would they go out of their way to put that there?

Just discovered @lucidiot's feed and am very saddened to see anyone take this position #Yarn.social is **NOT** trying to take anything over or become a "monopoly" 🤦‍♂️

@prologic @eaplmx (#c6yyvda) To be fair, the only thing I can think of that makes Yarn feeds not be "standard twtxt" is the disregard for twt size (which many others also do with their non-yarn clients). But sure, I can see how reading these feeds might be frustrating: too big posts, markdown everywhere, linebreak characters, emojis... But I'll consider it the "freedom of the user" to decide whether or not to follow a feed written in a certain style. The provocative metadata comment? Easy (and better) to just ignore.

(#c6yyvda) @marado well, I find that's a problem of leaving that open. Using should vs must. Leaves that to different interpretations. >A status should consist of up to 140 characters, longer status updates are technically possible but discouraged. twtxt will warn the user if a newly composed status update exceeds this limit, and it will also shorten incoming status updates by default.

(#c6yyvda) @prologic yeah, I'm sorry. it's so unnecessary. if they don't want to follow someone or use a piece of software they can just do that. calling it out so explicitly is odd.

@mckinley (#c6yyvda) Well, sort of? I've been using them (copying or adapting and extending from what I saw others do) since before yarn.social was a thing. Yarn doesn't (and shouldn't) have the monopoly of "using twtxt comments how we like".

(#c6yyvda) @abucci I really don't know mate, I really don't know. Its really disappointing to see to be honest and I'm really quite upset by this.
