Warning: People using twtxt seem to be adding feeds indiscriminately so that they will follow your feed several years after you announced it as gone. HTTP response codes like “404 Not Found“ and “410 Gone” will not make them stop.

That seems fixable if we were to build a new client / protocol

Apreche suggested that ActivityPub is text (json) only already so we can avoid the 19th protocol :)

Give it a bit longer, and we'll just be able to say "927", and everyone will know what you mean.

But for now, https://xkcd.com/927/

I recognise the quote every time. But I do not plan on learning the individual numbers of any of the xkcd strips. Recognising the quotes is enough for me.

I propose a new protocol, xkcd://<comic nr>

Such as xkcd://927

That reminds me of the story where prisoners tell each other jokes by number:

The current protocol already has a perfectly clean "this has gone away forever, stop checking" result code, and it is being ignored. What will a new client or protocol do to fix that?
