    I like how there is no way to tell if anyone follows you.
    Shouting into the void.
    We have already achieved feature parity!

## What is this?
This is @bcrypt's janky twitter replacement.
## History
[Original tweet](https://twitter.com/bcrypt/status/1588416861552582657):
```
RT @bcrypt:
just made a “decentralized” “alternative” to twitter; everyone should go “join” it
to make an account: fork https://github.com/diracdeltas/tweets
to tweet: git commit --allow-empty
to follow someone: git remote add <alias> <their fork url>
to retweet: git cherry-pick <their tweet>
```
## Setup
* fork https://github.com/diracdeltas/tweets
* in your fork:
```
git reset --hard d10b092
git push -f origin main
```
## Stuff you can do
* to post:
```
git commit -m "your post" --allow-empty
git push
```
* to follow someone:
```
git remote add <git name> <their fork of diracdelta's repo>
git fetch <git name>
```
* to follow everybody:
`./follow-everybody.bash`
* to repeat someone else's utterance:
```
git cherry-pick <their commit hash>
```
* [people to follow](https://github.com/diracdeltas/tweets/network/members)
* to refresh your timeline and view it:
```
git fetch --all && git rev-list --all --remotes --pretty | less
```
* to view your timeline in a cool way:
```
git log --graph --all --decorate --oneline
```
* to get verified:
1. [follow github's own verification instructions and make your commit email match your GPG key email](https://docs.github.com/en/authentication/managing-commit-signature-verification/about-commit-signature-verification)
2. `git commit -S -m "your post" --allow-empty` from now on
