Their platform is brilliantly simple, just write and publish to the fediverse without having to worry about any technicalities. I have nothing but praise for them, in my experience they seem to value user experience as much as users do.

At the beginning I had problems with the service, just like Twitter had done to me, Write.as flagged me as a bot. Unlike Twitter, Write.as has actual humans doing actual support - actually.

I reached out by e-mail and Daniel quickly responded:

Hey Alex,

Sorry about that – our systems are a bit rudimentary and sometimes catch legitimate posts. Just let me know what your username is and we’ll disable the spam filter for your account.

After I provided him with my username he then replayed:

Of course, happy to help!

I’ve just disabled the spam filter, so you should be able to publish freely now. Please let us know if you ever encounter other issues, though.

How nice of them!

If you want to follow me beyond what I write on this blog you can absolutely give me a follow on my personal Mastodon account.
