Too bad it's so hard to submit a suggested blog.

Making it too easy invites spam.

Sending a single email seems like a good compromise to me.

  • I agree, that would be a good compromise and I would do it in a heartbeat, but that's NOT the procedure. More is required:

    >Participating

    >You log in with a Fediverse account (Mastodon, Pixelfed, GoToSocial, and others). If you don't have one, mastodon.social is free and takes two minutes.

    For non-techies like me, Fediverse accounts and mastodon.social are non-starters.

    Too bad.

    A single email WOULD be great, as you point out.

    • Sign-in is only needed to interact with the site, like voting or hiding entries. If you want to suggest your own blog, just send a mail to suggest@bubbles.town as described in the FAQ.

    • >For non-techies like me, Fediverse accounts and mastodon.social are non-starters.

      You can literally sign up for a Mastodon account on mastodon.social or most other instances through the web like any other website. It's no more difficult than a Reddit account.

    • > For non-techies like me, Fediverse accounts and mastodon.social are non-starters.

      For technical people these things should be non starters as well. It is a group of people who should be acutely aware of everything wrong with social media, and many are not.

Is there some kind of process? I have a small website where I write articles, mainly about my programming language implementation.
