(#urcykrq) @prologic@twtxt.net oh yeah, the outrage cycle is horrible. It almost seems like a public health hazard that ought to be dealt with. idk, I just want to be a nerd online and not have all that in my face day after day after day š¤
(#urcykrq) @prologic@twtxt.net I played around with Mastodon for awhile, and while it felt like a bit of an improvement over twitter, say, I didnāt like how complicated it was to self-host and federate. Also the developers seem to be pushing Mastodon more and more into becoming a twitter clone. I feel like twitter is pretty mean-spirited in part because of how itās structured, so this worried me a lot.
(#2gjshuq) @prologic@twtxt.net I guess itās not to everyoneās taste š Iāve been mostly doing functional programming for awhile now and unison seems to address several pain points, and I think their big idea of hashing parse trees and keeping an ever-growing database of code that is easy to marshall over the network if you want is very cool.
(#urcykrq) btw I have no plans to migrate outādefinitely want to give this a go for awhile. Iāve found some interesting feeds to follow, and Iām sure that will continue. However, I do like very much that the post data is not trapped in some corporationās data center.
(#urcykrq) @prologic@twtxt.net Yes. I noticed quite a few people used to keep up twtxt feeds but then stopped. You can goodl ātwtxt.txtā and find lots. Hopefully with a nice web app and phone app and cli tool like yarn.social has enough critical mass will build.
(#gnujfjq) @prologic@twtxt.net Both the web app and yarnc. Iāve mostly been using the web app to experiment, but some days Iām mostly in the command line (Iām in tech and code a fair amount) and itās cool to be able to dash off a thought from there. I liked that about twtxt.
(#rxeepiq) @prologic@twtxt.net ahhhh that makes sense. Thank you!
(#ia7tn7q) @prologic@twtxt.net no worries! I find this to be a feature, not a bug. I like asynchronous communication because I canāt always check in (busy with life!) but do want to stay connectedā¦
(#4y24kla) @prologic@twtxt.net hi! š Thanks for writing back! I wanted to see what interacting with another person was like. And also to meet new people!
Iām liking yarn.social a lot so far, so thank you for this.
I have not been using twtxt very long. I stumbled on it long ago, but Iāve never really been into social networks and always found twitter pretty mean-spirited. But I decided to give it a go again and wanted to try to meet some folks so that Iām not always talking to my @testuser@anthony.buc.ci
(#gojpmta) I donāt think I could tolerate a ten-year-old computer, by contrast.
(#gojpmta) The camera is not good, and the battery life could be better. There are definitely some improvements in modern phones. Iām pretty impressed by how usable a nearly decade-old phone is though.
(#gojpmta) Thereās a lot to be said for phones where you can replace the battery and SD card.
(#gojpmta) usable*
(#gojpmta) I put a new SD card and a new battery in it for about $30 total. One of the reasons I originally mothballed this phone and bought a new one is that at the time replacement batteries were very expensive.
(#gojpmta) Aside from the 3 Gbyte RAM limit, which hurts at times, and occasional stutters, itās perfectly unable.
My son chewed the screen of my smart phone into nonfunctionality, so I resurrected a 9-year-old Samsung Galaxy Note 3 that used to be my primary phone.
(#o6gv44a) Any suggestions are welcome, this is insane XDDDD
(#o6gv44a)
Iāve come up with the most unoriginal pod name ever
(#oxj5o2a) @assets@maya.land š dig this
Looks like a lot of fun.
(#gnujfjq) Itās nice to be able to read the timeline and write posts from the command line, since I spend a lot of my day there.
Web hosting is being moved to Ouvaton, a French co-op and email not sure yet. Might use them or Nubo a Belgian co-op
I am at the moment starting to move my internet things over to cooperative run services
Have a computer that keeps dropping off the network and I donāt understand why š
(#urcykrq) then again, since I self-host, and since posts are ultimately in twtxt format, itās very easy to to save data and migrate out.
Iām always intrigued by new platforms like this one, but they are hindered by a lack of users. Unless youāre draw in by an existing community, you end up talking into the void, or to yourself @testuser@anthony.buc.ci
(#rxeepiq) @abucci@anthony.buc.ci thereās a setting where you can state whether you want images displayed inline or not.
(#rxeepiq) from phone
(#rxeepiq) Oh I suppose I upload media from my computer.
(#rxeepiq) @testuser@anthony.buc.ci Hmm, a weird thing I donāt understand is why that image is not displaying inline. It does on the phone app.
I am just testing yarn.social with a second user. Really I am @abucci@anthony.buc.ci in disguise.
(#rxeepiq) @testuser@anthony.buc.ci goatās
@abucci@anthony.buc.ci (#rxeepiq) goatās are the best
@testuser@anthony.buc.ci (#rxeepiq) dig that goat!
@abucci@anthony.buc.ci (#rxeepiq) that is a cute kitten!
(#rxeepiq) @testuser@anthony.buc.ci Hi test user.
@abucci@anthony.buc.ci (#rxeepiq) Hello I am a test user who is testing.
(#4fjkgtq) I also wonder what feeds are. I guess I should read the documentation how about that.
(#rxeepiq) I am gratuitously posting just to see how things look when you do that. Sorry for the noise.
(#rxeepiq) Buccipod being my self-hosted yarn.social instance with exactly one user, me š
Whatās the difference between timeline and discover, I wonder.
@prologic@twtxt.net hello! I just installed yarn.social and wanted to try sending a twt to an external user!
This guy created shadertoy and makes amazing graphics. I just want to save a link here.

Buccipod lives.
(#hcxohda) @ullarah@txt.quisquiliae.com at least not on this account, so I guess Iām good.
