So excited to hear that the Ghost blogging software is going to support federation via ActivityPub! activitypub.ghost.org/

If you sign up for updates, they have a survey where they're asking for feedback. Now's your chance to get your suggestions in!

Cool to see Ghost taking this step, while Substack is over there trying to build walls around their product to trap people in (eg thewrap.com/substack-follow-fe)

Ghost's post is also how I learned that Buttondown is working on ActivityPub support! 🙌 Exciting times.

@molly0xfff I came here to point that out too :)

@molly0xfff Ghost is an intriguing piece of software. But... I think @matt has converted me. I love how simple his interface is. It's all the best things about Medium's philosophy of "just write" but also still open source. More services on the fediverse is a good thing, but Ghost should know that they already have competition.

@molly0xfff this is huge!! I'll definitely be keeping an eye out for it's release 👀👀

@molly0xfff I haven't parsed how to use Ghost like I would patreon or substack. I subscribe to ghost newsletters but there doesn't seem to be a way to login to ghost without being creator and paying a fee. I want to use the ghost login like my Patreon page and my old substack page where I can subscribe and unsubscribe newsletters. I don't see a way to do that. Have I misunderstood their model? I subscribe to your newsletter and platformer as discreet content rather than under a centralized Ghost account.

Molly White

@mvilain no, you've got it right. it's not a centralized service like substack or patreon; you sign up per-newsletter.

@molly0xfff Thanks. You're the 1st person I've asked a question to who hasn't grumped at me with "don't @ me".

Keep writing and doing your podcast. Lots of work but it's worth it. If you want a voodoo doll of Sam Bankman Freid and pins, let me know. I'll convert one of my Mitch McConnell doll for you.

@mvilain @molly0xfff Wait, you have multiple Mitch McConnell voodoo dolls?

@mvilain Ghost is like WordPress or Mastodon. You run your own server.

@molly0xfff when I read your newsletter with an RSS reader they display your icon next to the audio player above the player and very big.
