@ernmander ah nope, we have the ability to silence people's accounts when they're abusing the platform. Some people get caught up in that (you can see the questions on our forum https://discuss.write.as), and we just need a better way to handle that.

You would really think when you have 5 years to implement a feature, you'd squeeze it in there somewhere. But here we are!

Either way, implementing the 5-year renewal stuff now will also come with some new experiments I'm excited to try, as far as benefits for our most loyal writers.

A few priorities on the @write_as list, but this week it's two areas that I really need to address:

- Giving users who were silenced more insight into the reason, and a smoother way to appeal. This is taking up a ton of my time right now, especially as we're seeing more spammers complain, but I still need to sort them out.

- Letting 5-year subscribers renew their subscription. For many reasons, I'm way overdue on this 🙃

as always, deploying on Write.as and then opening PRs for @writefreely.

will probably get these changes in v0.16, our next release that's been delayed for a while

Working on some #fediverse things in @write_as today.

- New `preview` property on our Articles, so future supporting platforms can fall-back to a short-form representation of blog posts

- Interop issues with #Ghost
