@Orthon_Spaceman seems like you were very much so indeed

@MikeN49 Thanks for this! A customer also alerted us to this issue, the automated SSL renewal process had a hiccup. Sorry about that!

@sambahreini @nandoodles @Mike_Katz @TMobile The tactic employed here is “hey company, didn’t you say you were one of the good guys? Then stop advertising on the bird site”
Pointing out that they aren’t in fact really ‘good guys’, however correct it may be, undermines the effectiveness of this specific campaign

@47pinkclouds @jaapstronks @netflix even vanuit een alt account: jij kwam op mij replyen met Russische propaganda, dan kun je een vraag verwachten waar je standpunt vandaan komt. Je beticht anderen van hypocrisie 'want Amerika is erger'. Dat is een drogreden om te verhullen dat je pro-Putin bent. Wegwezen.

And @matomo_org is a wonderful open-source alternative to Google Analytics. They offer a cloud hosted service, hosted in Germany, or you could host it yourself, like we do (https://t.co/hogNpECngT runs on a server in Amsterdam, The Netherlands)

Progressive campaigns @ EU should get serious with data, in 2 ways:
🧐 learn how to collect & analyze data to guide decision making
🇪🇺 protect user privacy and be GDPR compliant
Well, we're happy to offer @matomo_org integration for Wings websites -> https://t.co/qieQ2ltZKy

Even if you use Google Analytics' IP anonymization features, you're still sharing user data (including IP addresses for every visit) with a powerful company which is heavily incentivized to sell ads. You should not rely on Google to collect and user data, period;

Another great local Wings-powered campaign website spotted in the wild! Haagse Stadspartij is a leftist local party in The Hague, Netherlands. Check it out at https://t.co/WwlFAFdoYi

The thing is: it should be easier to manage your own domain name without having to share your login credentials with a web developer.

[Wings @wingscms]

(We are talking about the setup where your domain is managed independently from your hosting environment or website service.)
- Users will want to point the www and non-www version of their domain to an external service, which requires multiple records; 2/

[Wings @wingscms]

- The UX principle of progressive enhancement is lost on these environments. TTL settings should be hidden for the majority of users who don't know what it is as unnecessary complexity is daunting; anyone who does will be comfortable with changing some setting to unhide it. 4/

Configuring your DNS records should be easier. We just rewrote our documentation on how to set up a custom domain and connect it to a Wings website, but I'm not sure how helpful it is https://t.co/HGB044fRvs – how could this be simplified? 1/ 🧵

Shout out to our friends in Germany who are increasingly finding their way to Wings to power their local political campaigns 🇩🇪🙌

[Wings @wingscms]

Note: @dnsimple seems to have DNS issues, https://t.co/uX4IeKod6w & https://t.co/Xl0pA3L6rc may not be available temporarily, especially in Europe. They will probably be working on it already, https://t.co/gNOTJWrTNh itself is also having issues. Apologies for the inconvenience!

Digital organizers who know how to use smart tooling like webhooks can create much better campaigning tech setups: https://t.co/srhMrB1JW0
