That’s exactly what came to mind. Even millionaires would simply pay with a credit card for the convenience, and yes, because what kind of a sociopath will carry $3,000 around?! Just one more stumping item to that despicable person list.

After reading you, @eapl.me, I'll tell you my point of view.
In my opinion, a feed does not have to be equivalent to a timeline. A timeline is a representation of the feed adapted to a user. You may not be interested in seeing other people's threads or DMs. But perhaps they are interested in seeing mentions or DMs directed at them. It is important not to fall into the trap. With that clarification...
I insist, this is my point of view, it is not an absolute truth: I don't think extensions should be respectful of customers who are no longer maintained.
We cannot have a system that is simple, backwards compatible and extensible all at the same time. We have to give up some of the 3 points. I would not like to give up simplicity because it will then make it harder to maintain the customers who do stay. Therefore, I think it is better to give up backwards compatibility and play with new formulas in the extensions. I don't think it's a good idea to make a hash keep so much load: a hashtag, a thread and also a DM.

@bender@twtxt.net The DM specification has been updated from time to time in response to advice from the community. For me, It is a successful!
The adoption is another topic 😂

Btw @andros ; The automated feed you put together for Hacker News... Does it at any point rewrite parts of the feed as it goes along? 🤔 I've had to unfollow it because I've found in practise it makes a twt, then seems to modify that same twt (observed by content manually) at least twice. This ends up becoming effectively an "Edit" and essentially duplicate (looking) posts 😢

@andros nothing stands still, I agree. I think current twtxt has surpassed the initial specification, while still being relatively backwards compliant/compatible but, for how long?

@bender@twtxt.net You said:
as long as those working on clients can reach an agreement on how to move forward. That has proven, though, to be a pickle in the past.
I think this is because we probably need to start thinking about three different aspects to the ecosystem and document them out:
- Specifications (as they are now)
- Server recommendations (e.g: Timeline, yarnd, etc)
- Client recommendations (e.g: jenny, tt, tt2, twet, etc)

It was the first time this year that we had half proper April weather and a thunderstorm in general. It started off with clear sky and lovely sunshine. Right after arvo lunch it started to rain, so we went into the hut. Then, the sun returned.
On the way back with the growling thunder in the distance coming closer and closer we escaped the rain just perfectly. A minute or two after we reached the car, wet stuff started coming down the sky. Not even half a minute after opening the front door, it poured like crazy. Lucky twice today. There’s beautiful sunshine again by now. It smells absolutely great after the rain. I love it!

@bender I use it. It's not the feature I use the most in the fediverse, but I communicate this way with several friends. For example, it's the main way I talk to the original creator of the twtxt-el repository, the way people greet me for the first time or the way they notify me of some bugs in the software I maintain. I can even tell you that it's the main way I talk to some maintainers of the Emacs community. If there are any of you reading my words, speak up!
Why not have the same? There are things I want to say to @prologic in private, why should I have to send him an email or private IRC? Or an public twt.
Of course, here's a topic we've already talked about: what is twtxt for you? For me it will always be a social network, in microblogging format, but an asynchronous way of communicating. And having a tool to control visibility is basic 😄
I look forward to hearing from you @eapl.me !
