Continuing my journey into fediverse past, I listened to this fun interview with Eugen Rochko from 2019 on a podcast called “Nothing but the Toot”.
Nowadays I think Gargron is often seen as a caricature of sorts, and it was nice to hear a more human side here. Good to know their love of cat posts has been consistent all this time! 😸
Fill in the blank with any open source group. Not picking on Mastodon, just using as an example.
Mastodon has used Discord since at least 2018. I found essential tidbits about how featured profiles originated for an article I wrote - that information did not exist anywhere else.
All of that history will be lost if / when they move somewhere else.
I wish there was more use of self-hosted forums, but I get the enticement of real time chat.
