(#z2zyrma) @xuu That's true, and I'm not necessarily that's a threat model I really care about per se, others might, but I dunno 🤷‍♂️ Really depends how paranoid you really are I suppose? 😂

(#ninh34a) @xuu does this mean you got it working? 😱

(#cwump6q) @xuu But but I beat you to it 🤣

(#wZDA1MQ) @xuu While I generally agree, it wouldn't make much sense to escape a string that's supposed to be readable as plaintext :)

@xuu (#jmgdkdq) Sounds complicated 🤣 One of the driving principles behind this platform [jointwt/twtxt](https://github.com/jointwt/twtxt and Twtxt itself is simplicity. As it stands today you need only _really_ three things: A `twtxt.txt` file hosted somewhere, an `avatar.png` file alongside and some kind of "client" that also understand the convention around "Subject"(s) (_the thing you see in parens_). Beyond that this backend we call Twt.social pods is just a web app / client and API that allows us to also have the same on Mobile...

(#buwspta) @xuu The thing is we _actually_ ban Youtube at our home network because we as parents cannot trust the content that gets published there, nevermind the privacy problems with using the platform in the first place. So the only way I allow our children to watch Youtube videos is if I can go download them.

(#ij6gpnq) @xuu Nice!

(#3clq7eq) @xuu Nice. I've been thinking of doing something similar for my website so I can host more services at mckinley.cc.

(#mm4etoq) @xuu Actually we could do that 👌

👋 Q: How do we feel about forking the Twtxt spec into what we love and use today in Yarn.social in `yarnd`, `tt`, `jenny`, `twtr` and other clients? 🤔 Thinking about (and talking with @xuu on IRC) about the possibility of rewriting a completely new spec (no extensions). Proposed name `yarn.txt` or "Yarn". Compatibility would remain with Twtxt in the sense that we wouldn't break anything per se, but we'd divorce ourselves from Twtxt and be free to improve based on the needs of the community and not the ideals of those that don't use, contribute in the first place or fixate on nostalgia (which doesn't really help anyone).
