Un forum #Discourse pour une association, c'est super... mais pas simple à installer et maintenir. Est-ce que vous connaissez des prestataires éthiques et pas chers (style #chatons ) qui proposent ce genre de service ?
N'hésitez pas à re-pouetter !
I'm legit super impressed with the @Discourse tutorial with discobot! It's very well executed in orienting the user with the software and features and simulating interactions. Much better than the popping up of bubbles in different parts of the interface while you're just trying to navigate (they do that too, not a fan but I get why). Good work Discourse team!
#CfP for the #conference "Imagining Italy: Space, #Gender and #Discourse in #Women’s Writing 1789-1914 // L’Italie sous la plume des femmes : espace, #genre, #discours 1789-1914", which will take place at the University of Lorraine (#Univ_Lorraine) on November 7 and 8, 2024.
@davidbisset most of my stuff is RSS now, but more sites need to really support it at a standard. It makes them less money, but hopefully they can get over that. I'm hoping #Discourse integrates #ActivityPub more, they have it in the early stages as an extension. There's also the #phpbb forum software that is working on polished Activitypub support as well. So I'm hoping we get the start of a revival of forums in 2024. I already saw momentum with #fedi blogs last year as well.
Disappointed, but not surprised, by the utter lack of interest in #ActivityPub over at #XenForo.
XF 2.2 was released in Sep 2020. XF 2.3 will drop sometime this year, however, IMHO, none of the new features were worth waiting 3+ years (a lifetime ago) for.
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.
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.
#Discourse, you mean the org using cloudfront.net (AWS), a tool to gather lots of personal data and make the Internet a capitalist private network infrastructure for its website?
What a huge progress for a free distributed world we can trust, for sure!
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
I have maintained, and continue to maintain, that my concerns about #Meta and the #Fediverse have nothing to do with threads as such and everything to do with how they act around the protocol.
Them releasing a client or a server would be very, very bad news in this space. Them running a multi-tenant (or multi-single-tenant) setup would be very, very bad for the fediverse.
Their presence on a single domain just doesn't say or do all that much in the grand scheme of things.
@hrefna my two cents: chasing the dwindling former twitter addict pool (which seems to be the meta/threads objective) is not the future of the #fediverse.
Its unique appealing proposition is not social media as we have come to dislike, but it is the federation of very diverse types of servers where people create real and lasting value. Think e.g., all these important #discourse communities.
Imho the protocol(s) should leapfrog to the desired end state and leave the mastodon era behind.
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.
