So we can give you $8 for a verified checkmark that people will only see if they look it up at your website? I mean I'd rather give you $8 than this bird site but I could also just keep the $8

Currently employed reliability engineer at Twitter explaining why the site is going to collapse soon.

Says that it may work okay for now, but major news events like Queen Elizabeth’s death will knock it over like a house of cards.

So close. There are actually about eight of those tiny little pieces holding everything up, and yes, all those teams got slashed.

Twitter Blue is rolling out. Regardless of where you stand, I am urging you not to upload personal or financial data to an interface that was rushed into production this week by disgruntled engineers that will almost certainly be under some sort of attack on day zero.

Agreed! The CMS plugins, eg WordPress's and Drupal's, don't. For even less technical people, we recommend http://micro.blog. Choosing and registering a domain is as easy as choosing a username on Twitter, DNS is automated and invisible (!), webmention support is built in.

I'm back on the road, this time in London! I'm actually back at the IETF meeting where I'll be talking with the Remote ID folks again! (But those meetings haven't happened yet so don't ask me questions about it just yet! 🙈)

Yeah, I love the spirit of WebMentions but the implementation is too high a bar for many (most?) site owners. But maybe a man investment in UX / tooling makes more sense than trying something net new.

Yeah, frankly I don't think an alternative would end up being significantly simpler anyway once you start accounting for the things that are already established in the current ecosystem. There are tools and services now, and libraries, but we always need more!

I was just noodling on this. I don’t think I’m the right person to build it, but I wonder what an “RSS feed reader + discussion graph” looks like

- subscribe to RSS
- “reply” to posts by blogging on your own site with a meta tag
- readers use the meta tag to thread discussion

This is basically what we're doing with Webmentions. It's an old post, but surprisingly relevant all of a sudden: https://aaronparecki.com/2018/06/30/11/your-first-webmention

You simply must admire the fact that Elon could do anything he wants every minute for the rest of his life, but instead he dutifully logs in every morning to get kicked in the dick and balls all day by his $44 billion group thread

I wish they would just do away with it. 2x a year and everything gets messed up…

We're so close! Almost got rid of it this year, I'm holding out hope that next November will be the last time change.

it's interesting but feels far too coarse-grained. maybe masto needs something like public groups of related accounts so you can use those as a foothold instead

Absolutely. There's some in-progress work on this, but I haven't been following it too closely. https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/19059

Sadly the state of things is that until Mastodon itself implements this, it's pretty much a stalled idea in the larger Fediverse.
