When seeking support or sharing feedback about software/website, which platform would you prefer to use? Please share your reasons in the replies (if you wish).
Still looking for responses to this one! Also I should've probably included hashtags, however I can't edit the post because that'll reset votes. I don't remember if hashtags work for replies, but probably worth a try: #Survey#Poll#Discourse#NodeBB#GitHub#Discord#Forums.
Great to see this, and good blog (am still reading).
The marriage of chat + forum on the characteristics you list is an important one.
Once you have 2 separate community channels, say a #Matrix chat and a #Discourse forum, you immediately have a problem. The chat is so low-barrier that important info to be kept longer term ends up there and gets lost in the chat flow history. It requires reminding all the time "Please take this to forum".
Thinking about Hacker News but sprinkled with #activitypub
imagine being able to reply and participate to any #HN post from the #fediverse and with #webmentions have fediverse comments mingled with native HN activity.
I could easily do a test with this idea using RSS to autofeed a #Discourse or #Nodebb forum and then consume the firehose from #Fediverse, just for fun!
For the moment, when Lemmy can connect to tens of thousands (MAUs), & Kbin can connect to millions (MAUs). Personally I'm going to go with my Kbin account.
Both platforms need development. Also other forum platforms are taking up ActivityPub #NodeBB#Flarum#Discourse so this space on the Fediverse is going to expand & evolve quite a bit. #Fediverse#RedditMigration
Reddit is the only major social app that figured out how to thread the content moderation needle. Moderation is done by unpaid volunteers who also get the blame (this part is key).
Trust and safety teams then only need to worry about bad communities like coontown/fatpeople hate or escalations.
I don't think it ended up working because the concept of trust levels is rather opaque to the end user, so it's inaccessible for that reason ... But still, props for trying.

Fair comment. I do find that conversations on Discourse forums or Loomio groups are more likely to go deep, and lead to covergent outcomes, then even the most constructive chats here. I haven't used Pol.is, but I've read impressive things about its by #g0v for vTaiwan.
