@bendwr and I discussing something along the lines of: I.e: How to deal with or reduce noise from legacy feeds.

(#7ef2sea) Err I meant @bender and I (Mobile app doesn't have auto-complete for @-mentions 🤦‍♂️🥲😢)

(#7ef2sea) @prologic it makes absolute sense for a Yarn.social user. I propose the following formatting change: > **WARNING:** > > You are about to follow a legacy feed, which may not have any kind of engagement. Do you want to continue?

(#7ef2sea) @bender Sounds good!

(#7ef2sea) @prologic This seems like it would drive a wedge between Yarn.social and the people on regular old twtxt.

(#7ef2sea) @mckinley Do you have an alternate proposal? What we _want_ to avoid really (if possible) is the idea of "1-ay posting" or "posting to the void". As an obvious example, the idea of syncing your Mastoon toots to Twtxt twts that you never see replies to is well umm just silly 🤣 and thus creates unwanted noise as it's just like talking to a "brick wall" 😥

(#7ef2sea) The wording can be more subtle like "This feed have not seen much activity within the last year" and maybe adding a UI like I did in timeline showing time ago for all feeds I agree that it good to clean up the Mastodon re-feeds, but it should also be okay for anyone to spin up a twtxt.txt just for syndicating they stuff from blog or what ever. The "not receiving replies" could partly be fixed by implementing a working webmentions for twtxt.txt

(#7ef2sea) @sorenpeter Good points 👌

(#7ef2sea) @prologic Why do we need to avoid posting to the void? That's pretty much what twtxt was made for. I don't like the "Legacy feed" terminology, either. I support the delisting of ciberlandia.pt but I think this change is heading in a bad direction. I like @sorenpeter 's suggestion. It gives the users the information and lets them make their own decision instead of putting a big scary warning in their face. That's what Microsoft does, and we shouldn't be Microsoft.

(#7ef2sea) @mckinley I think "posting to the void" was/is a poor choice of words hete.
