[KevinMarks] Ben demanding a single unified namespace and Blaine claiming he can deliver that is tricky. https://mastodon.social/@blaine/109594849783367401
#
Loqi [KevinMarks]: would you mind moving this conversation (federation, namespace) to #indieweb-dev? thanks!
#
Loqi [preview] [blaine] @ben ❤️Totally agreed – not very online at the moment, but good thoughts, and I agree with all of them!The username thing *is* a solved problem, though, but Mastodon implements the protocols in kind of a dumb way. I invented Webfinger in 2008 s...
#
[KevinMarks] Can do, though this is a UX discussion

[chrisaldrich] Have things changed somehow [manton]?
#
[chrisaldrich] Just tried replying inline on micro.blog to a conversation thread I started (and relying on webmention to send the comment back to my original rather than replying from my website and syndicating into micro.blog) and got the error message "You need to add a payment method to reply during your Micro.blog trial." I've not encountered this before (and don't have a trial going as far as I can tell), has anyone else seen it recently?
#
[manton] Yeah, we changed things recently to make it harder for spammers. I need to tweak this so it doesn’t trip up folks who don’t need a subscription… As a work-around, if you aren’t using Micro.blog for hosting because you only use e.g. WordPress, go into Account and delete the hosted blogs. Then Micro.blog won’t complain.
