@manu-chroma, it seems medium is using social accounts(google, facebook) for creating new account now. Should we need to support medium?

seeeturtle commented 6 years ago

Oops, sorry. I've closed the issue by mistake.

manu-chroma commented 6 years ago

every user still has a username regardless, AFAIK

seeeturtle commented 6 years ago

yeah, you're right.

I've just found that it only allows letter, number, dot(.), and underbar(_). and possible username length is 1 to 15 for now.

but there is some username that overs this length. for example, https://medium.com/@aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa this has 16 letters.

@manu-chroma, I'm little concerned that it deletes inactive accounts. What account can we use for constant_account?

seeeturtle commented 6 years ago

I'll just use medium staff account (https://medium.com/@MediumStaff). I hope it's constant account.

manu-chroma commented 6 years ago

that's a good choice
