Stamps and Stickies
, 1 min read
Ghost’s own comments are off. Instead, readers have two smaller ways to leave a mark.
Stamps. A red SEEN stamp under a post, optionally with a name. A stamp is final; a name can be taken back for a day.
Stickies. Notes of up to 200 characters, pinned under a post. Visitors pass a spam check and wait for my approval, which reaches me on Telegram or ntfy with Approve and Delete buttons. Signed-in members skip approval. My own carry an Author mark.
Why not comments: spam control without losing warmth. A sticky is short enough that nobody writes an essay at me, and approval means nothing goes up that I wouldn’t stand next to.
Both run on One Worker, Three Jobs. Part of Dungeon. The idea of offering these to other bloggers is Red was Here.
