The tragedy of cross posting across multiple social networks is that most don’t bother to give proper attribution to the appropriate accounts on each network.

It’s nice to use “Real Name” but it’s so much better and valuable to the author to use @​RealName.

@zachleat I was wondering if Croissant accounted for this. Cc @BenRiceM?

[luis_in_brief@social.coop]

@janl @zachleat @BenRiceM does not, as far as I’ve seen. Hard problem but it’d absolutely justify Croissant’s cost if it does get solved.

[janl@narrativ.es]

@luis_in_brief @zachleat @BenRiceM I think the cost is already justified. It’d be a neat feature tho.

[benricem@mastodon.social]

@janl @luis_in_brief @zachleat we have a pretty good solution for this coming soon!

[zachleat@fediverse.zachleat.com]

@luis_in_brief @janl @BenRiceM I don’t know how much coverage there would be but I’d settle for self-declared `rel=me` tags via personal web sites at this point

[luis_in_brief@social.coop]

@janl @zachleat @BenRiceM I like paying for software, and am paying for Croissant, but… meh? It’s very polished for what it does but also pretty expensive for just posting.

[zachleat@fediverse.zachleat.com]

@BenRiceM @janl @luis_in_brief Amazing, TIL about Croissant—I’ll check it out thanks y’all!

[zachleat@fediverse.zachleat.com]

@luis_in_brief @janl @BenRiceM it’s pretty rude to complain about price on a thread with the original author…

@zachleat @janl @BenRiceM fair!

Let me phrase it more constructively: coming from someone who really appreciates high-quality software, pays for a lot of it, and literally works all day (when not poasting) to support solo software developers: the price, given the important *but limited* functionality, feels too high and will be hard to justify in the market going forward. As someone who wants you to succeed, I suspect you either need to improve the feature set or lower the price.

@luis_in_brief @janl @BenRiceM to be clear—this service costs $3 a month, no? I’m currently using Buffer, which costs $5 per channel per month

@zachleat @luis_in_brief @janl @BenRiceM Croissant costs $1.67 a month. Highway robbery!
