On a donc regardé des alternatives aux forums/ML/newsgroup/etc.

@geobabbler nous a fait découvrir #Zulip, et perso je suis complètement fan : ça impose de créer un nouveau sujet pour démarrer une discussion, comme sur un forum/ML/newsgroup, tout en gardant le côté temps réel. Pour du smalltalk c’est nul, mais c’est le job de Discord/Matrix/XMPP ça.

Sinon il y a #Discourse, si on veut une alternative plus « lente ».

⚠️ Liebe Leserinnen und Leser. Zur Erinnerung:

Mich erreichen viele Anfragen. Ich freue mich über das Interesse, gleichzeitig kann und werde ich nur einen Bruchteil der Fragen beantworten können. Es ist einfach eine Frage der Zeit. Ich würde mich daher freuen, wenn ihr eure Fragen über das Kuketz-Forum stellt. Dort gibt es kompetente Teilnehmer, die euch in den meisten Fällen weiterhelfen können. 👇 💬

Le silence du #fediverse.

Quand le protocole #ActivityPub lui même donne une partie d'une conversation au lieu de tous les posts répondant au billet initial.

Hackers' Pub · “조용한 연합우주” 문제를 해결하는 두 가지 접근법: 대화 백필링 메커니즘이 글은 연합우주(fediverse)에서 발생하는 "조용한 연합우주" 문제, 즉 대화의 일부만 보이는 현상의 원인과 해결책을 탐구합니다. ActivityPub 프로토콜의 분산 특성으로 인해 대화가 여러 서버에 분산되어 저장되면서 발생하는 이 문제를 해결하기 위해, 답글 트리 크롤링과 컨텍스트 소유자 기반 방식이라는 두 가지 주요 접근법을 제시합니다. 답글 트리 크롤링은 모든 답글을 순차적으로 가져오는 방식이지만 네트워크 취약성과 작업량 증가의 단점이 있고, 컨텍스트 소유자 방식은 대화의 원 작성자가 대화 내용을 관리하는 중앙화된 접근법이지만 컨텍스트 소유자에 대한 의존성이 높다는 단점이 있습니다. 또한, 모더레이션 패러다임의 충돌과 상위 전파 누락 문제와 같은 논쟁점을 지적하며, 주기적 크롤링, 사용자 트리거, 멘션 기반 백필과 같은 추가적인 백필 메커니즘을 소개합니다. 마지막으로, FEP 수렴 논의와 구현체 간 협력 현황을 통해 향후 개발 방향으로 하이브리드 접근법의 표준화를 제시하며, 다중 전략 구현, 리소스 관리, 모니터링 및 로깅의 모범 사례 가이드라인을 제시합니다. 이 글은 연합우주가 더욱 풍부하고 연결된 소셜 네트워크로 발전하기 위한 노력과 사용자 경험 개선의 중요성을 강조합니다.

:ClimateJusticeSocial: Question for members of climatejustice.social and climatejustice.global.

Would you be interested in a place for us to discuss topics concerning the two sibling servers internally?
I'm thinking of starting a #Discourse forum where we could:
* do community building
* brainstorm ideas for the instances and the Fediverse
* talk about our principles, rules, guidelines and moderation
* ask questions and help each other
* do whatever else we come up with

:discourse: discourse.org/ is a free libre forum software that is working on ActivityPub compatibility, meaning it is/will be part of the Fediverse, able to federate topics and categories with other Discourse forums, #lemmy and possibly Mastodon and lots of other parts of the Fediverse.
For now you'd have to create an account on the forum to participate in discussions though.

I think it would be good for us, if more people were more involved in decisions and discussions about the instances as well as in community building and socializing.

What do you think?

Discourse - Civilized DiscussionDiscourse is the place to build civilized communitiesDiscourse is modern forum software for your community. Use it as a mailing list, discussion forum, long-form chat room, and more!

@FediTips @nodebb @Discourse

One thing everyone should realize when they go on to those places is that these are **not** centrally managed by a corporation which also means that these **cost money to run**

That means that you will have to fork money for it you won't get it for quote unquote free or you pay for it with your data, or your usage patterns

You will have to pay actual USD or EUR for them!

Pondělní Community Builders Meetup Prague (fotil Lukáš Návesník). Diskutovali jsme o komunitních nástrojích: Discordu, Slacku, Discourse a LinkedIn. Já coby zastánce #Discourse jsem zopakoval svou tradiční mantru, že stavět komunitu na cizí platformě je ověřená cesta do pekel. Na oplátku si odnáším velmi férový postřeh, že komunity je potřeba stavět tam, kde lidi reálně jsou – v současnosti tedy zejména na uzavřených komerčních platformách. Je smutný, že to aktuálně nejde skloubit.
