@prologic it makes absolute sense for a Yarn.social user. I propose the following formatting change:
WARNING:
You are about to follow a legacy feed, which may not have any kind of engagement. Do you want to continue?

@prologic This seems like it would drive a wedge between Yarn.social and the people on regular old twtxt.
The wording can be more subtle like "This feed have not seen much activity within the last year" and maybe adding a UI like I did in timeline showing time ago for all feeds
I agree that it good to clean up the Mastodon re-feeds, but it should also be okay for anyone to spin up a twtxt.txt just for syndicating they stuff from blog or what ever.
The "not receiving replies" could partly be fixed by implementing a working webmentions for twtxt.txt
@prologic Why do we need to avoid posting to the void? That's pretty much what twtxt was made for. I don't like the "Legacy feed" terminology, either. I support the delisting of ciberlandia.pt but I think this change is heading in a bad direction.
I like @sorenpeter 's suggestion. It gives the users the information and lets them make their own decision instead of putting a big scary warning in their face. That's what Microsoft does, and we shouldn't be Microsoft.
@prologic I think one-way feeds are okay and we shouldn't discourage them so strongly. On the other hand, I think it's the duty of a poderator to filter out feeds that are just noise from the Discover feed. I definitely consider a truckload of one-way posts mostly in another language to be noise. Did you get rid of Gopher Chat too? I'd call that noise, for sure.
