  1. The team @micro.blog have done it again.

    They soft-launched https://micro.one yesterday^1.

    This may be the most accessible onramp to the open social web ever.

    Cost: $1 a month. Yes you read correctly.

    This is the simplest and cheapest (where you are the customer, not the product) way to own your identity and content online^2.

    Stop posting in someone else’s garage^3.

    Time to export your Twitter, and migrate your Mastodon handle to your own home on the web.

    Of course you can bring your own domain name. Additionally:
    * blog posts, naturally, both articles and microblogging notes
    * photos
    * podcasting
    * custom themes
    * web-clients and native mobile posting clients
    * WordPress, Tumblr, Mastodon, Medium import
    More details (and alternatives) at https://micro.one/about/pricing

    And yes, it interoperates with the open #socialWeb, including:
    * #ActivityPub support, #Mastodon and #fediverse compatibility
    * #IndieAuth to sign-in to third-party apps
    * #microformats support in all built-in themes
    * #Webmention for sending and receiving replies across websites
    * #Micropub standard posting API, supporting dozens of clients
    * #Microsub standard timeline API, supporting social readers
    More #indieweb support details at https://micro.one/about/indieweb

    Did I mention the the superb micro.blog (and micro.one) Community Guidelines?
    * https://help.micro.blog/t/community-guidelines/39

    Well done @manton.org and team.
