## 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 using GitHub:
|
|
`./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
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
* some alternative ways to view your timeline (use `git show <commit hash>` to
|
|
show the full "tweet"):
|
|
```
|
|
git log --format="format:%Cred%cd %Cblue%h %Cgreen%cn%Creset: %s" --all --date=iso-local
|
|
git log --graph --all --decorate --oneline
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
* to get verified (GitHub-only):
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
|
|
* to encrypt a message:
|
|
|
|
see `encrypt using the public key of a github user` in https://sshenc.sh/ or
|
|
use your favorite key distribution mechanism to get their public key.
