With NodeBB, Discourse and Flarum, this makes three #forum software that can now participate in the #Fediverse. The ongoing #SocialCG meeting will certainly endorse the new working group dedicated to topic-centric fediversity, along with @lemmy and @kbin.
Hej. Dobrzy ludzie. Gdzie znajdę jakiś mądry i wyważony tekst niemarketingowy i nie przeznaczony dla forum / czatu / pokoju dla klientów a dla społeczności, o tym jak powinna wyglądać moderacja, aby forum było przyjazne? Próbowałem 4 wyszukiwarkami i nie znalazłem takiego nic po polsku.
I've been toying with the idea of creating a #forum as a sort of central hub for UK retro folks. I made a little survey here - please fill it in, it would be helpful to know what people would want out of such a service.
My favorite Pokemon, as you might be able to tell, is #Vulpix! I also like Meowstic, Riolu, and Meowscarada.
Just a heads up: I’m fairly boost/repeat heavy! I like to boost lots of art in particular, among other things. If you don’t like that, you’re welcome to hide boosts from my account.
When using a #forum, and you quote a post, do you expect to be able to edit the post (i.e. to add emphasis, truncate unnecessary parts, etc.)?
It's possible to structure quoted posts like "references", so a reference to a deleted post is also empty. This has advantages when it comes to the #GDPR Right to Erasure, but may be a grey area (is a quoted post still YOUR post?).
Liebe Leserinnen und Leser. 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 öfter über das Kuketz-Forum stellt. Dort gibt es kompetente Teilnehmer, die euch in den meisten Fällen weiterhelfen können. 👇 💬
Is there interest in a #foss static #forum software? Yes, you heard that right.
Thinking about creating a system for basically periodically scanning the inbox of a mail account, creating a #markdown draft which then can get approved or rejected by simply moving it to the appropiate folder. A #cronjob is then picking it up and compiling the forum page again.
This would work with mailto links, so any email editor is already the writing tool.
In light of the recent wave of spam, I figured I would throw another one of these out there. If you like the server you're on, and are concerned, there might be a way you can help.
If you're in good standing (haven't had any issues with moderation), are fairly active (check once a day), feel like you know your way around Fedi at this point, and maybe have experience as a #moderator on #Discord, or some other #Forum, consider contacting your server staff and volunteering for moderation duty. All it takes is being able to check reports periodically, and take action on the ones you're confident about: you don't even have to deal with the more complicated ones.
Right now, I think a lot of these servers could use someone who just watches the feed for this bot net, so new bots can get banned quickly.
As usual, also consider donating to your server, and possibly mods if they have a thing for it.
Have some kind of real-time interface. The chat-like style Spectrum.chat used was great for this (apart from Spectrum (source linked) being slow as hell).
Provide plenty of single sign-on. IndieAuth on by default could be a big help.
Have a cheap/free (at least sponsor open-source projects to be free), dead-simple way to host your own
Other nice-to-haves:
Fediverse support of some kind.
Integration with Discord (hell, using Discord's forums, and bi-directional! It's possible with Discord's API, last I checked).
I had a survey where I asked users on Mastodon which Vivaldi products and services they are using. This is the result:
83% Vivaldi on Windows, Mac & Linux.
65% Vivaldi on mobile
56% Vivaldi sync
39% Vivaldi Social (Mastodon)
13% Vivaldi Forums
9% Vivaldi Blogs
1% Vivaldi Automotive
11% used none of the Vivaldi products and services.
724 responded.
It is great to see how many are using Vivaldi across devices and sync. Vivaldi is one of the few browsers that offers browsers on all major OS and the only browser to do that and provide the browser in cars as well.
It is also great to see how many are using the different Vivaldi services. We are happy to provide ways for our community to engage and to support the Fediverse!
If you wonder what Vivaldi is, the best way to figure that out is to download it from vivaldi.com.
Z ciekawości, bo ktoś mnie zapytał o podobną rzecz - które silniki forumowe mają połączenie z Fediverse? Dobrze kojarzę NodeBB oraz Discourse?
I drugie pytanie o innym charakterze - czy istnieją znane usługi pozwalające postawić osobie nietechnicznej forum za darmo lub drobną opłatą? Kiedyś były dla phpBB by Przemo, ale fora też były duże częstsze.
