We’ve updated our community guidelines to include a more formal policy around cleaning up spammy accounts and what kind of posts aren’t appropriate on Micro.blog. Jean has the details on her blog about why and how we’re trying to be proactive about this.
@manton I appreciate what y'all are doing. Any recommendation on an RSS reader for iOS? something relativley secure, and maybe no ads?
@bloftin2 I use NetNewsWire for iOS now. It's free and works well with Micro.blog feeds and other services like Feedbin. Reeder is also really good.
@manton Thanks. I’m trying to get a group of skaters to all abandon Facebook and create their own sites, but we need some way to tie everything together so it’s easy to keep up with each other. It’s an uphill battle, but it’s so much nicer here without all the advertising and trolls.
@bloftin2 this is such a cool idea! Please post the results of your efforts. I’m always interested in reading about people getting websites instead of publishing in closed silos. 😊
@pcora I am no scholar of online behavior. People seem to want attention, and they want it NOW. Blogging is a bit more of a personal endeavor, I think. But when one of my friends makes a new blog post, I am DELIGHTED. I read it immediately. I think I may reach out to 5 or 6 skaters who I know enjoy writing and connecting, and make some sort of "official" web-ring, and see if we can drum up some interest that way.
@pcora I am new to the term "small web", though I have been practicing exactly that since, well, I intially started building websites.
I'd like to know what people think about this article - this vision - of the small web...
