I just discovered ubuntu.social today. I see it’s for Members only:

But I couldn’t sign up:

I thought maybe there was some quirky SSO process like with Matrix so went to the Member perks but didn’t even find it mentioned.

What’s the deal? Maybe that it’s unofficial and not maintained?

As the admin, maybe I should be asking @aaronprisk but that wording on the server almost reads to me like it is a perk of Membership, regardless of how official it might be.

I set that server up as an ‘unofficial’ service initially.

I put that requirement for Ubuntu Membership for a good reason. The volume of data, and compute required to allow any old random person have an account and start posting whatever they like is far beyond my personal financial budget.

It was migrated to a Canonical managed service on 29th May 2024.
