@JeremyCherfas “gated community” is a very apt description of micro.blog.

/@matigo @js

@sumudu if you are not:

• Mac/iOS/IndieWeb centric (i.e. you only use Android and a PC)
• Technical enough to set up your own blog
• Willing to give Manton Reece $5/mo

Then “the barrier of entry” is pretty high, I’d say.

@gtwilson cult of Manton and IndieWeb.

@JeremyCherfas As I wrote several months ago [phoneboy.com], the potential audience for micro.blog is relatively small, namely people who are some combination of:

• Mac/iOS/IndieWeb centric
• Technical enough to set up their own blog
• Willing to give Manton Reece $5/mo

This excludes a lot of actors with nefarious intent, but it also excludes a significant group of people who might otherwise be excellent members of the community.

It may be right for someone but I don’t know that it’s right for me.
