@fl04t Yeah well, did that with ADN back in the days. Not sure Pnut is ready for me full time yet. System should be more open to new users. I understand why it is how it is but there must be another way. Was it 500 users and how many active? #pnut
@runeranch The options I'm familiar with are 1) open access, 2) charge, 3) invite-only. 2 has at least as much a problem as 3. 1 is a massive can of worms. But: https://pnut.io/about /@blumenkraft
@33MHz It's not that I don't get it. It's how normal users see it from the outside :) I don't know the solution, but is there really no good spam countermeasure for "1) Open Access"? Sorry I don't know the tech behind it. :D
@33MHz Well I don't know, the codes I'v sent out has not been used. Maybe it's because they can't see this lovely Beta UI have :) Thats a whole other thing, users have to find tools themselves and authenticate. Hope at some point that will be remedied.
@runeranch are you having pnut E-mail them, or giving them codes directly? Wonder if they're getting dropped in the spam box. There is a lot of room to improve the presentation of the network - improving the apps directory, explanations of how things work…
@33MHz I would love that! For example having Beta under a "main domain" like Alpha days. Maybe in the future. :) Confusing linking to different subdomains. Love the Profile page of Beta/Alpha :D
I'v sent the code to some friends via IM Twitter and email.
@runeranch@33MHz I think the main barrier to entry for a social network is that for most people Twitter/Facebook is enough, often because it's all they tried. I like pnut cause there are friendly people in a more open/civil environment with less agendas.
@shawn Agree, what can Pnut offer users that Twitter/Facebook can't? For me it's social engagement from other users and options when it comes to clients (official web option still needed).
@runeranch There's the possibility of a first-party web client, a la Alpha for ADN, but the power and transparency in putting it to developers is unmatched. 😊
We need to improve the introduction to the network, though; discovery/intro to your first app.
