I think the idea that a new Mastodon user is supposed to pick an instance based on affinity/interest is the number one thing that prevents people from joining. I think there needs to be a retooling of the messaging to make it about trust.
People don't join email services because of affinity. They do because they trust. They trust Google will be around for a long time. Or that hushmail won't sell their data. Or that Hotmail is easy to use. Etc etc.

Why do airlines make you fill out a captcha in order to purchase in-flight wifi? Is there an abundance of robots waiting to pay for super expensive and slow internet aboard most aircraft? Or am I missing something?

When we checked into our Airbnb, the lights were all dead. Like, pitch black. They‘re all controlled by these overcooked touchscreen panels in every room, and “one guy” in London knows how to fix them. So, they moved us to another unit for the night. The next day…

Says @t: “just start”. Start posting on your own site. #indieweb readers and platforms are available. I helped build one publishing platform: Known can be grabbed at https://github.com/idno/known #dwebsummit

We thought the web would be peer to peer, but we wound up being clients on a small number of servers. The #indieweb is part of the answer: use your own site as your social and identity hub instead, says @t. #dwebsummit https://indieweb.org

The Steno Gherkin

Ever since Donut.js has had live captions for their talks every month, I've been curious about how people can learn to type that fast. That led me down quite the rabbit hole of internet research, where I stumbled into the open source stenography community, largely pioneered by Mirabai Knight, who does the captions for Donut.js! (small world!)

Your Endpoint Did Not Return a Location Header

Thanks for writing this up! I've made some minor changes to how Quill displays error messages now, as well as tweaked some copy to make it address users rather than developers.

Quill started out as a tool to help debug Micropub implementations, so all the copy was phrased to address the developer of a Micropub endpoint. That was before https://micropub.rocks existed. Quill later evolved to be a much more robust client that can create a bunch of kinds of content, and I hadn't yet gone back through and updated the text.

It's clear this has become necessary, so hopefully these changes make a difference now!
