Ich habe mal einen Test gestartet. Über das Konto @kuketzforum werden neue Themen, die im Forum erstellt werden, automatisch verlinkt. Es wird nur das initiale Thema verlinkt, keine Antworten darauf. Praktisch eine Art RSS-Feed, der die neuen Beiträge vom Forum im Fediverse verlinkt.
@kuketzblog@kuketzforum find ich ne gute Sache, war damals im alten Forum und hab da viel zum Pinephone geschrieben, bin dann auch bei Lemmy mit und hatte beim dritten Umzug ein wenig die Nase voll. Lese lieber Mastodon und so bekomme ich jetzt wenigstens mit, ob es im Forum was interessantes gibt.
Edit: ein anderer Avatar zwecks schneller Unterscheidung wäre gut.
A call to everyone in the wider @gstreamer community:
In addition to providing a more modern system for realtime and non-realtime discussions for the @gstreamer community, one of the main goals with setting up a #discourse and @matrix instance was to provide an official location for discussions on the development of, and with, GStreamer instead of several different silos.
Over the years (decade?), we have all moved those discussions in various places (reddit, stack-overflow, discord, slack, internal company chats, etc...). Now is the time to bring those discussions back to a central location so we can all benefit from our shared knowledge and expertise.
Having all those discussions in various places are impossible to follow, and sometimes only the outcome is shared in "official" places (gitlab, discourse, matrix) which means that a lot of the background and thought process is missing and has to be repeated again. A waste of time for everybody.
Same for new ideas or questions; discussing them in other places misses the feedback of the whole collective. Maybe someone else has looked into that problem/idea; the earlier you share it, the earlier people can chip in and point out their experience or thoughts (or heck, even a link to the solution/code !).
I have definitely fallen guilty to only discussing such things in closed silos, and sorely miss the "old times" where all discussions were happening in an official open location.
Some might think that such and such discussion isn't worthy yet of discussing it in discourse/matrix. But keep in mind that those places have search features (your discussion might provide an answer to someone else later), and referencing previous discussions is also much easier. So by having those discussions there you actually enrich that collective knowledge.
Furthermore, as discussions and topics grow, it is trivial to create new rooms/categories to have discussions more centered and avoid information overload (which isn't great either).
The next time you have a discussion related to GStreamer in closed/other silos ask yourself the question "Shouldn't we be discussing this with in the GStreamer discourse/matrix?"
@gstreamer isn't great just because of the code, it's great because of its community and collective knowledge and what we can build together.
This is a great use-case for #PESOS, "Publish Everywhere, Syndicate on Own Site". Everyone could use their preferred tool to contribute to the discussion or codebase, and all of it is recorded in a central, official repository.
This would be a lot easier to accomplish if all those tools and forums had #ActivityPub
The power of forums of ol’ linked to conversations here: I love what tinkerers of the open web are managing to achieve nowadays. What Threads is doing for Meta is in no way the important piece of news. Read better. #Discourse#ActivityPub
Sehr cool, die Forum-Software Discourse hat ihr Activity Pub Plugin am Laufen und föderiert jetzt zwischen den eigenen Instanzen und wohl auch mit anderen Projekten im #Fediverse#Discourse ActivityPub Plugin
what do y'all think? : ""The biggest climate issue is a bunch of egotistical men who refuse to change," she says, referring to the heads of multinational corporations." - https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-67522279
i'm a cultural anthropologist (amateur), so my interest in her statement has less to do with "is she making an accurate statement" and more to do with: what is it that drives the desire to come up with 'the biggest issue with ___" or "the main problem with ___"? because there definitely is a desire to figure out the "root cause" of this thing (so that it can be "fixed"). but i don't know if that's possible.
i used to have this desire myself! it drove my activism... and my lack of activism - because i "couldn't figure out the root cause". analysis paralysis is a consequence of this kind of "root cause" thinking.
not to say that there aren't root causes (there may even be a root cause yet!), but that the search for a root cause can be a particular kind of activism failure mode. it's one that i think i was stuck in for way too long.
and to be clear, i DO think it's important to look for root causes, i just don't know if there's a SINGLE root cause.
i think that we are trapped in a tangled web that is
a systemic problem (a problem of systems that create outcomes regardless of which individual people are running the systems)
that is also a problem of a specific kind of masculinity (NOT a problem that's like something about men themselves as humans)
AND ALSO a problem of literal individual egotistical human men lol. (as today, kissinger death day, should remind us all.) sometimes it really does make the difference to remove literally 1 egomaniacal human man from a group situation. and sometimes that one man is fucking impossible to get at (especially since you can't get to them with guillotines anymore).
AND THAT ALSO has a bunch of other root causes like colonialism, slavery, human separation from nature, spiritual poverty, devaluing of animal and plant life, devaluing of the land, the concept of 'owning land', racism, heteronormativity, ableism, the legal system that protects corporations, the market system, the belief in and desire for hierarchies, the desire for an ordered and controlled world, "ends justify the means" thinking, and a million other things.
i don't know if there's a way to get free of this web (i certainly feel very wrapped up in it), but i can still use my teeth to bite at the little pieces of web around me & my friends & the little piece of land around me!
Hmmm is #discourse (the software) a popular/desirable thing?
There's a #wordpress plugin for it and I've been thinking of adding a proper #Forum to https://sirtaptap.com but the plugin hasn't been updated in 9 months and one of their 2 'see it in action' example sites no longer uses it (or has comments at all)
I do like that it's got a self-hosting thing, and BBPress...I just didn't like the look of but it can probably be adjusted.
I don't want to fragment discussion too much, and I do already have my personal mastodon and also @sirtaptap.com@sirtaptap.com (though it's automated), plus my Discord server.
But...none of those are quite a Forum. I kind of like the idea of pop in once a day, and nobody thinks you're "weird" for replying to something as ancient as 😱 12 hours old!!!!
"Deficiencies of power in the present are compensated with claims of grandeur and power in the future. This is one of the many reasons why the stronger power usually has to take the first step. Resolving things requires setting most of those narratives and aspirations to the side to arrive at some way to live together in the present."
Big welcome to @Discourse for joining the Fediverse!
Discourse is what we use for Fedora Discussion, our forum space for long-form async communication. It enables us to have in-depth conversations with important moderation tools. Also, it provides an alternative to our mailing lists as a way of collaborating on Fedora in a way that may be more accessible to newcomers. :)
