Cool! I don't remember the exact date I joined (after the name change I think) or even how I learned about it (probably through Reddit, ironically enough).
Hey by the way, you (plural, not just you (singular)) should start posting to the blog again. Blog posts are easier to share with the outside world than emails are.
You (singular) are totally right! And I (singular, I think) will try to do so. I've got some things cooking.
This post was also before my time, I hadn't seen it. But Bill's original words here feel evergreen.
(explaining my archeological trail: I found this randomly. Looking at https://indieweb.org/ before setting my Mastodon account with them -> following a reference to blogging platform https://withknown.com/ -> following a reference to late venture fund https://www.matter.vc/, which I knew also supported Readup back in the day -> trying to find a Readup mention)
Lol. Fun! I so remember writing this! Especially those last four bullet-points, almost down to the words. Clickbait, trolls, echo-chambers, fake news - Solved! Solved! Solved! Solved! What a hoot.
P.S. I very much agree with KapteinB. More blog posts. (And no more emails.) I can’t wait until we can ALL write (meaning: publish) on Readup. After all, we’re all writing and telling this story.
Doing some archeology!
