@darch@neotxt.dk I really like the distinction made here between:

Freedom of speech / Freedom to shout

Basically every other social media platform really. All centralised ones like Facebook, Twitter, etc, and push-based ones fall into this category too 👌

Where what we have built with Yarn.social / Twtxt is really:

Freedom to listen

Where we have full control of what we “pull”, or not (Follow/Unfollow). I also like what we were talking about in the call where we describe the interactions as:

I write something down on paper, and post it outside my mailbox/house.
Someone drives by and reads it and is intuiged.
That someone then writes down their own thoughts and replies on their own paper and posted it by their mailbox.
You come along and see it one day, and decide to further erply.

In this way Yarn / Twtxt is much slower, but that’s by design.
