It would be great if there was a directory of users.

I'd use it if I knew people in my network or people I'd be interested in following were already using it.

Yeah, sounds great in the first place, but then again you’d have to consider how one would implement such a list without the need of registering an account or something of that sort.

My friends and I are basically sharing our followings publicly in a separate text file next to the main one, so we can discover new people.

Not sure I'd want to be in a directory, but wouldn't mind if someone queried based on my email address.

How about a DHT where sha160(emailaddress) would return the URL I use. Could even use the mainline torrent DHT.

Brute-forcing email addresses doesn't seem particularly hard, and a mechanism like that would then allow checking for email address validity and corresponding URL.

How would you prevent people from registering email addresses they don't own?

I like this too, but it is pretty hard to use without a directory, so I created a simple one here where you can register your username: http://twtxt.reednj.com

Just improvised something (probably temporary) here: http://test.plomlompom.com/twtxt/account_list.txt

Why not try https://twtxtlist.cf/?
