Well, as for a new UUID it’s a thought to combine the timestamp+username or timestamp+url to create a unique id. In this scenario I think the first would probably be favourable. This way if someone decides to use a different url (most likely they will stick to their nickname) UUID’s will still hold up.

Adding to that, we could implement a version variable in the meta, adapt code to either read the old or new format UUID, so older threads won’t break.

@prologic@twtxt.net yeah short Nick is going to be unique enough. There is always olong Nick that adds the domain for differentiation.
