Let us know your thoughts! I've been using it for years. Definitely some jank, definitely not for everyone, but again it's been pretty good for me. And if you really want you can run your own server.
Cory is amazing. I interviewed him on Fireside Fedi and that dude has so many well thought out points. He changed my mind on Threads coming into the Fediverse.
This has been tried and tried again. The first time I remember seeing this was in the '90's where a "free" dial up ISP was trying this. NetZero maybe? Didn't work then, won't work now. They'll pay out so little it won't be worth it. Don't do it kids!
That's because it is another bubble. They're all bubbles IMO. Since the boom of the internet they've all been scrambling from one fools gold rush to the next. Crypto, nft, metaverse, AI. Heel even social media that was given freely isn't returning the expected investments and that's why they're all enshitiffying.
Thank you so much! It's nice to know others agree. I've been so concerned with all of this, thinking I'm the only one thinking this, but I'm not. We're ALL thinking this. And I've been having an absolute BLAST. Not just for myself, but doing my Fireside Fedi show and even working towards setting up my nonprofit BT Free. We'll see where it all goes. Maybe it just us, but at least we have each other. :-) Thank you for the kind words of support. <3
I'm more just trying to get a very quick site set up. I made a super basic page ATM. I'll revisit it later to try to make something much nicer or hire someone. Multiple folks have mentioned drupal so I'll have to give it more of a look. Thank you for the feedback. :-)
I don't know anything about Drupal. I shall look at it. Right now to get up and running I'm thinking of just running a SSG like Pelican. Especially since the Dev is on the Fediverse. :-D
I know a silly reason to pick it, but I'm a Fedi Lover lol. :-)
Thank you for the info though. I'll definitely look more into it. And thank you so much for the very deeply detailed response! :-)
I'm not doing a publishing platform really. And I can't seem to get email going. I've tried with MailerSend and while I know I can send email, through swaks, Ghost just won't. Someone told me it only uses MailGun, which I attempted to set up and after 2 days the DNS verification didn't go through, even though I konw for a fact it was there. And at this point I really don't want lock in to a specific service if that's true.
OUCH! I mean he's an android so wouldn't he come with different attachments?
