After the events of yesterday & today on the other site, I will be here much more. I met so many wonderful people over there & I’m glad to see so many familiar “faces”here & hope to find new ones. I’m also on the waitlist for this & curious what you all have heard. https://post.news/?r=x8bSu

Home / Post.

@Mimirocah1 Glad to see you here! I’m on the waiting list for Post as well. It sounds like a good possibility from the little I know.
@Mimirocah1 I signed up for post news and to be honest I'm still not really sure what it is. It looks like a cross between Twitter and LinkedIn.
@tom4okstate 🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️
@Mimirocah1 Voice the fight against fascism on multiple platforms.
@ditchcrosser @Mimirocah1 I’m not putting any money in Musk’s pocket. This platform works for me.

@Mimirocah1 Personally, I'm not interested in it until it becomes technically mature and a big success - which may take years.

Meanwhile, I'll be focusing on #Mastodon - which I currently believe will eventually become the successor to the bird site.

@Mimirocah1 Also on the waitlist for Post News.

I'm curious. Haven't heard much.

@Mimirocah1 I received an email today from POST saying I’m still on a waitlist and to be patient because so are thousands of others. 🤷‍♀️

@Mimirocah1 I've heard Post is a venture started by the founder of Waze, funded by significant VC capital.

I suspect (not sure) that it's related to a previous micropayment-for-news effort he launched last year, "Paygo."

I am interested to see that the site is mostly being promoted by media and journalism personalities with significant social media followings who are casually dropping referral links in conversations about leaving Twitter, and I'm wondering if that's a coincidence.

@IntlLawGnome @Mimirocah1 If you try signing up, you’ll find Post incentivizes people to do that, saying your position on the waiting list will improve for every referral you generate. Savvy but annoying viral marketing strategy to build “buzz.”

@antone @IntlLawGnome @Mimirocah1 But they’re also letting people in based on who they are.. oftentimes blue checks are getting in first. I have to find it, but I took a screenshot of one of the owners talking about how he gets to “pick”. I’m also on the wait list, but don’t want that to become another Twitter overlord situation.

We’ll see.

@IntlLawGnome @Lynda @Mimirocah1 No doubt, and the usual “who you know” for special treatment. I’m actually Twitter verified (blue check), so I’ll let folks here know if it seems to make any difference. Currently waiting. 🤷‍♂️
@Mimirocah1 @antone @IntlLawGnome
Hmmm they must have seen my reply 
@Mimirocah1 I am at post/beta - looks pretty good. My invite arrived today.
@Mimirocah1 It is refreshing here not to read all the bots and trolls. People posting real information.
@Mimirocah1
I'm waited listed at #19,541.
I'll be hanging here.
@Mimirocah1 no idea about Post, but Mastodon seems great and getting greater every day, more fine people like yourself joining, fleeing the foundered bird-cage!!
@Mimirocah1 I am on waitlist too, and received email today from them explaining some key elements that they still do not have in place and thus why they are not ready for launch. Promised soon!
@Mimirocah1 I’m with you. I followed you on the other site and was very glad to see you here. And absolutely I’m going to be here much more.
@Mimirocah1 the email update we received yesterday about beta testing for Post was honestly so refreshing and it made me very optimistic about the site’s founders. They explained the bugs they had already identified and why they aren’t able to release the beta on a wider scale yet. Lots more information than they really needed to provide, but I appreciated it.
@Mimirocah1 I'm liking mastodon so far.
@AnneToTheC I’m figuring it all out still!
@Mimirocah1 Post looks to me like something being built/controlled by a single entity to be sold to the highest bidder. Twitter V2. Musk V2 perhaps.
@Mimirocah1 I made it into Post about a week ago. It’s brand new and still in Beta so there are bugs being worked out and it doesn’t have all features yet. That being said, I really like it. They are working hard to get everything up to speed. Definitely worth giving it a try once you’re invited in!
@debvalente @Mimirocah1 I'm on the waiting list and on tribel.
