Now *this* is a blue checkmark I would pay $8 for:

@superplastic https://superplastic.co/products/blue-check-mark-enamel-pin

UPDATE: I ordered one!

BUT, it will arrive in a week, so the meaning of the blue check will probably have changed 10 times by then, so who knows what the joke will really be about at that point

what's the equivalent of a subtweet, but in a blog post?

I'm pretty sure this was "vagueposting"? or maybe it was "vagueblogging"? It was definitely a thing before subtweeting was.

@websident I mean I'm paying for the domain. And I did check my driver's license before I did this, so it's legit

Rolled out another change I forgot to make with this morning’s Mastodon changes: your “about me” text from Micro.blog now shows up for Mastodon users too. (Mastodon will cache profiles so may take a while to update everywhere.)

✴️ Also on Micro.blog

fyi you can send out an Update activity to one's followers to trigger the remote instance to update the profile data. I don't think they'll update it in any reasonable amount of time otherwise.

NPR issues internal guidance on Twitter: don't advertise your handle, but don't delete it because someone could take it and impersonate you.

Part of Twitter's centrality can be seen in newscasts with twitter handles on screen and author twitter handles on articles. Keep an eye out for those disappearing.

Looking for @BikePortland feedback: Would you be interested in listening to audio of someone reading our daily stories? Would that be interesting to you?

Or having an mp3 embed atop each story as an option?

Thanks for any feedback.

A short form podcast I could add to my Alexa morning flash briefing would be cool! (It just takes publishing a podcast feed) the challenging part is updating it daily

According to messages shared in Twitter Slack, Twitter’s CISO, chief privacy office, and chief compliance officer all resigned last night.

An employee says it will be up to engineers to “self-certify compliance with FTC requirements and other laws.”
