Comment on Anyone using twtxt? It is for posting entirely as plain text.

Here is an example for someone rendering the twtxt file, including the user icons in a manner that clearly resembles normal microblogging: twtxt.net or you can see my twtxt file directly as txt.livingcartoon.org/latest.txt

Does this work with a central server of some sort or is it decentralized and the only thing we have are text files and clients, and the clients handle everything else?

  You simply host the txt file. It doesn’t get more decentralized, to the point that centralization is the tricky part here.

    And then you follow/subscribe other peoples feeds? And your client fetches them? but theres no such thing as a “global feed”?

    It is simply a line of text, so you could always relay it into whatever system. Did you see the example where people have made it into a multi-user version on same server? twtxt.net There are also relays you can submit to to centralize.
