Patrick LaForgeFinally got my Post.news invite and joined. They seem eager for my credit card, and there is some kind of points and monetization scheme to become an “editor.” I think I’d sooner give $ to EM. Anyway, it’s pretty glitchy compared to Masto/Fedi.
Cforman@palafo I’d ask you whether you may be jumping a little rapidly to what sounds like a fairly final conclusion. The onboarding experience for you was quite different than for others (including me) who are NEVER asked for a cc. The ‘points balance’ is a beta test to see if there is a way to create a long discussed, never successfully executed micro payments system for professional content including you & colleagues in news business, especially local. Everyone gets 50 ‘free’ points 1/
@Cforman Anyway, where did I say it was final? Early days, of course
@palafo you didn’t. My inference from the tone of your initial post.
