I see my postscript about imagined subtexts wasn't helpful. That HNers and programmers in general live in a filter bubble is not something I forget about at all. I've encountered my share of opposition for pointing this out, in fact. What's more is that this conversation is happening in a context—and it's a context where I explicitly made a reference to "twtxt['s] target audience". In comparison to setting up a Mastodon server, or getting Twitter to add support for ActivityPub, dropping a file somewhere is easy. So I don't really like quips like this. They're glib. As a person actually working on trying to fix the problem of computing being needlessly esoteric, I consider it to probably be harmful to that end, not helpful.
