I don’t use Yarn/Twtxt.net anymore, although I read the homepage a few times a week to catchup on anything interesting.
Then you do use it, no? Right? :-D
I barely twt from my PHP instance.
Because PHP sucks! See what I did? I am “encouraging” engagement! :-D
… it’s too superficial to have a meaningful conversation.
Microblogging is often the antithesis of meaningful. You talk about everything, and anything you want. Even to the void. You have done it!
Yarn is niche. With it’s forks, and yarns, it comes across as a “weird” microblogging for some (weird was the word a friend from Philippines used to refer to Yarn). The UI/UX has issues (I am not an expert, but I would say copying “the others” and slightly adjusting to give Yarn it’s own uniqueness should work), and that keeps people away. The cache blows, I want to be able to see everything, at all times. The built-in search blows, I want a more “ala Google” kind of search. There is more, but you get the gist.
