Patrick LaForgeHere’s my Post.news profile. I remain skeptical. https://post.news/palafo

@palafo Have you noticed that there is no option to delete your account? That's a huge red flag.
@clipperchip I see one - maybe added recently
Mike Stevens 
@palafo Have you posted anything or is this just the view for people who haven't logged in?
Lynn Cheney@mikestevens @palafo I get that same screen and I am on the waiting list.
Maxi 12x 💉@mikestevens @palafo Not visible for outsiders.
@frumble @palafo That just feels really silly. Fine to do that if it's to drive signups and the process is done in seconds, but they've got a thousands-strong wait list – meaning they're robbing current users of exposure (and maybe not inspiring new signups if people can't even see it in action). A short-term thing though I guess.
@mikestevens @palafo This thing was obviously hacked together in a weekend, what do you expect?
@frumble @mikestevens Yeah, I tried to share a post on Twitter and it was not great. Let’s see what Masto does: https://post.news/article/2I3biT2UnXeVXagw1UZIsegRUiL
@frumble @mikestevens Oh, that was a bit better https://post.news/article/2I2w6GdtpajHHj4g9kMe9KvA0fM
@palafo Ah well that's something at least!
@frumble @mikestevens Not great. It was supposed to be this https://www.nytimes.com/2022/11/25/business/economy/economy-holiday-season.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare
@mikestevens @frumble So they are displaying our copyrighted photo without credit or context on the poorly implemented social card
@palafo @frumble At a glance, it doesn't look any different to what I'd see if you shared it on Twitter, in terms of credit on the photo? This is the view I'm getting, anyway.
Interesting too that they're using OpenWeb for comments/replies rather than thier own integrated comments. Granted it's using an SSO for both Post and the OpenWeb comments, but it does kinda highlight how basic the service build is that such a key piece of it is a third-party SAAS.
@mikestevens @frumble Are you logged in? That is not what it looks like to me
@mikestevens The latter, apparently. I have a few posts but they need to build it out and fix bugs before I would spend much time there. Sticking with this place
Moved to @@palafo I am using Mastodon and Post.news and I like Mastodon better so far. Also Post.news can be bought by a sociopathic billionaire at some point, Mastodon and the Fediverse cannot.
@fxgibbons Centralized control has issues even if the owners are benevolent
Josh Sternberg@palafo same. signed up, got my handle, checked around, not impressed. think i'm gonna bail.
Dan@palafo great article! I'm going to add a tip now. Just kidding! 🤣
Tim Chambers@palafo until I hear they are Federating I consider it a lateral move at best over Twitter. We have seen where closed algo driven networks where you are locked in and you and your work is the product go…
