Just a heads up: we'll be closing Free account registrations in about 5 hours! Now is your chance to grab a completely free Write.as blog if you don't already have one. As always, Free accounts created before this close date will remain free always. write.as/start

After that, you can always get a free account by asking an existing user for an invite. Otherwise, you can support our independent publishing platform by subscribing to Pro! (write.as/pro) And you can always join one of many independent #WriteFreely communities (writefreely.org/instances).

Ultimately, we face too much daily spam from non-paid users that make it hard for our small team (me, @baer.works) to do much of anything besides fight them off. So temporarily closing Free accounts is the easiest way to slow the tide a bit. I'm sure we'll open up Free accounts again in the future.
