Help answer "am I forked?" #13

Open jedahan opened 4 years ago

jedahan commented 4 years ago

If (at least one? at least half?) of peers are up-to-date, can we have a green bar for "Are people hearing me?" or "Am I forked?"

Just spitballing right now

Yeah this would be nice to have a clearer answer to.

I think when you're forked, some people are following the "right" fork and some people are following the "wrong" fork. Plus you're just connected to a couple of people at once so it's a very small sample size.

I think to get a better idea of what to do here we would need someone with a forked feed to try the app and tell us what they see. For all we know now, ebt might just crash or do something else we haven't predicted.
