What, I need to install a piece of software to my computer or an extension to my browser to use a service? That's invasive and, without a very good explanation (that is nowhere to be seen on that page), massively hurts my trust in the company.
- yegg 4y agoThe original link was never meant to be linked to directly -- and has now been replaced with the announcement post.
- solarkraft 4y agoOkay, but that's not an explanation. > That said, we may indeed offer sign up outside the app/extension, but right now as a forwarding service, we are very sensitive to abuse of the system and so limiting it a bit helps to ensure we are on top of any abuse that doesn't bring down the whole system. This is a satisfactory explanation. But it's neither on the signup page, nor on the announcement page. ... and it's still really easy to accuse you of just trying to get some app installs - which would be fine if you admitted it.
