And as for certain people who just mail their comments to me instead of posting them, I really wish you’d register, log in, and post for yourself.
Okay, really now. Here’s a brilliant idea. Every blog should require registration to comment. That way we can have accounts on every single service just to achieve a fluid channel for communication1.
Here’s an even better idea, let’s reform e-mail so that in order to send to myemail.com you have to have an myemail.com account. No no no, it’s totally great this way! That way, you can have like 150 accounts to sign into and check and talk on, but you know all the cool kids are doing it so you know it’s good….
ESTABLISHING THAT MOAR POPULAR = BETTER.
Meanwhile, []2 I’ll continue my quest for Federation.
Notes
1) Fluid meaning we can communicate with “anyone,” “anywhere.” No.
2) I’ll reject this notion and respectfully refuse until the walled gardens truly disappear3.
3) My Level of Despair: Imagine if WordPress could only be used on wordpress.com
If this was meant to be sarcastic, I laughed hard.
Every blog should require registration to comment.
Oh yes, sure. That will definitely increase the lurking population. Unless your blog is setup so that people without 25 comments can’t read *cough*explicit posts*cough*.
Here’s an even better idea, let’s reform e-mail so that in order to send to myemail.com you have to have an myemail.com account.
Sarcasm and logic blend
It totally isn’t logical for all this registering and embedding in non-federated services. E-mail and blogs (and possibly irc) are the most powerful channels on the net because they work over the entire net…. centralization blows. ^^
