@jlj (#qcq7rrq) Yeah good questions. Not sure about how it would scale to be honest, but the inter-connections would become sports I guess.

(#qcq7rrq) @prologic I would like to see some basic features rolled out before inventing new stuff. Like getting a search engine up and running, so we can build filtering features for improving the UI and UX. Also the flow/speed of conversation (the social act, not the yarn-feature) on twtxt vs. IRC is radically different. IRC is ephemeral chatting and twtxt is microbloging at its cores.

@prologic (#qcq7rrq) But not quite IRC as @jlj put it, that would be a problem.

(#qcq7rrq) > Sounds like, over time, it wouldn’t look like a typical IRC server He's right. It wouldn't. If you joined a pod's irc endpoint that's all you'd be an anonymous participant. Although... There's no reason the IRC endpoint couldn't enforce SASL auth requiring an account on the pod in the first place. I'm not sure either of you see what I'm seeing as a potential marrying of the two mediums 🤔

(#qcq7rrq) @prologic @darch @xjix What's that homebrew tw.txt/yarn pod you're writing? Is that another server than `yarnd`?

@prologic (#qcq7rrq) Not crazy. Just trying to wrap my head around the implications. Does it scale? Sounds like, over time, it wouldn't look like a typical IRC server; which doesn't mean that the protocol can't handle it, of course.

@prologic (#qcq7rrq) You would be building an IRC client. 😛

@darch (#qcq7rrq) Yeah you’re right actually 😂 Thanks for being the voice of reason 🤗

@prologic @darch (#qcq7rrq) Ha ha. Yeah, a good point, indeed. :-)

(#qcq7rrq) @prologic You are welcome :)
