I'd argue that, for the moment at least, the more wheels being invented,the better! As I see it, all current wheels are square (ok, maybe some areoctogonal).
What we have is many services copying Twitter and Facebook, yetcommunication is a very nuanced thing - something they have taken anddistilled, genetically modified, mass-produced, and used to flood themarket.
Yet, real human communication is truly nuanced. Consider the differencebetween a joke well told vs badly told, sometimes it's not even the words,it's just the timing, or intonation. There's a lot to explore to move frombeing merely 'engaging' to 'enriching'.

twtxt seems more aligned with the mindset of Gemini, and is already
supported by gemini servers and clients.
Can we adapt twtxt instead of reinventing the wheel, I don't think it gets
simpler than that anyway. Just a text file with one line for tweets.
One advantage is that only the clients are involved and if I don't check
your feed, there is no cost. Or is the plan for the servers to be more
actively involved like Fedi?
