## What Jamie wrote

Daft allows you to create short posts on a "blog" by sending email to a unique address and specifying the text in the subject. It is kind of weird really. I created an account and made sure I was "[so very daft](https://daftsocial.com/jthingelstad/)". There is no authentication other than making sure you don't share the special email address that is created for your username. Each site has an RSS feed.

I thought it would be fun to make a new Daft Social page for this issue of the Weekly Thing and share the submission address here, but received this message:

> New signups are currently not possible due to overcapacity. Try again later.

So it seems folks thought it was fun enough to try. 🤷‍♂️
