One of the things I loved about joining #Mastodon and the #Fediverse as a whole was finding similar kinds of friendly and positive interactions I found in the earlier #Internet#Forum days, as-well as later in the early #Twitter days. There's general friendliness, and more and more and more folk are joining every day. It's real nice, but also not the complete picture, of course.
I’m heartbroken over the end of the internet’s #forum era. I don’t care if it makes me sound like an old lady yelling at clouds to say so. Two years ago a web search brought me to a 10-year-old post on a 20-year-old forum, which gave a collection of recipes built around an extremely specific, little-known locally foraged ingredient. They were the only such recipes I had ever found ANYWHERE. Less than 6 months later, that 20-year-old forum shut down and now its entire archive is gone forever.
Public group chats (!!), FontAwesome Pro support, better dark mode, among much much more!
We're really happy with the latest changes to the #chats system. Who needs #Discord anymore when you can have a kickass #forum system with chats subsystem that is on-par with Discord? 😊
Zahlen, bitte! 10 Internet-Gesetzmäßigkeiten in der Kommunikation
Die 10 Internet-Gesetze sind ironische Beschreibungen von Kommunikation und Netzkultur. Zu Usenetzeiten entstanden wirken sie heute oft noch sehr aktuell.

#Godot Community Forums were made read-only by a new owner.
At May this year, the previous owner of GCF @TwistedTwigleg has burnt out and tranferred the ownership of forum to @cybereality. Andres was granted all the permissions needed due to his enthusiasm. In the middle of this week, zie suddenly created an exhaustive post accusing #GodotEngine to be a scam.
Now, I'm not going to peel the layers of threads and subthreads of this incident for you, so better read for yourself.
The sheer fact that #Godot Community Forums got closed off because of some disagreements and confusion of the successor around #W4Games/#GodotFoundation and promises of the massive #FOSS project... I'd argue it is not as disappointing as the feeling of being betrayed for not giving away red flags before this whole debuckle even started to pan out.
If you make a #forum in a sense of place where different points of view are brought up, you should know better than to make a controversial post, lock it and pin it. Same difference with legit issues that were locked without any sensible resolution in issue tracker for yet another #OpenSource project.
Tipp Nr.13: Informiert euch über Veranstaltungen zu IT-Sicherheit und Datenschutz in eurer Nähe. Nehmt bspw. an #CryptoPartys teil, bei dem sich Menschen treffen, um Verschlüsselungs- und Verschleierungstechniken zu erlernen. Vernetzt euch mit Gleichgesinnten - online und offline!
Can't help but notice a difference between Lemmy and #kbin: when the workload is too high, the former crashes entirely, while the latter mostly just fails to federate, but continues to work locally. For example. I can't seem to load the microblog tab until I disable federation, but then it works perfectly.
@sarahjamielewis we were young and naïve back then too, but I definitely think #forums are due for a resurgence. I've been ringing this bell for years now after #CambridgeAnalytica broke, but this latest round of closing off the internet is just pushing more and more people away from walled gardens and closed platforms.
I'm hoping @nodebb (N.B. this is my #foss project) can lead the way on this, with a modern take on the tried and true #forum formula.
@narc0tic_bird@c1b0 a #phpBB -like #forum software that works with #ActivityPub would be pretty sweet. Surprised that doesn't exist yet, as it'd be a perfect format to work with ActivityPub.
