its not surprising considering the overlap. many linux users are cryptofascists, i.e. luke smith

Better. I'd say its fully on par with Discord, minus the dark patterns. There's a public Zulip instance where you can check it out.

What would be the unlazy, creative, and effective strategy?
BTW, remaining where our community members are is very effective at messaging to the community we need to communicate with...

Ah, that captures such a stark answer to why people use xitter though.
It's not "so I can hear from you" it's "So YoU cAn HeAr FrOm Us!!!11oneone"
Walled gardens? More like prison yard. Lol

Then try out DeltaChat in that case

Zulip sounds neat!
Shoutout to https://revolt.chat/ as a Discord alternative too.

I may sound too radical, but I'd go so far as to support a common Logseq knowledge graph.

It is depressing, but I try not to forget we are seeing a sort of survivorship bias of stupidity on the former Twitter at this point. The cohort of remaining posting accounts is dumber and dumber on average. And this dynamic is magnified in the replies, because they are paid blue accounts at the top. Eg, self-selected losers. (The top account has likely just hidden their checkmark)

Honestly I had the same thought. But on the other hand, internet outrage talking points have also become extremely formulaic...

Thank you! This has always been my main gripe about "collaboration platforms" in general. It's just chat with extra steps, and nothing is easy to find.

Just remove matrix from the alternatives and 100% agree, long live xmpp

This is probably much closer to discord than Zulip is, tbh. I never knew about it previously

how am i supposed to give you a better strategy when youāre just giving the vaguest possible āscenarioā.
hereās a good strategy:
donāt support naziās.
boycott all nazis.
they make money off advertising to users, by being a user, you are financially supporting nazisā¦ stop it.pretending like the only possible way to communicate with your desired audience is by supporting nazis is uncreative, ineffective, lazy, and destructiveā¦ that reasoning is why places like that continue to exist and grow.

I want to move my music discord to a forum platform. Can anyone recommend a good FOSS forum with good iOS/mobile app support? Some of the musicians are going to resist if there isnāt a decent, usable, mobile app. Itās been a long time since I set up a forum. Last one I installed on a server was phpBB!

The reasons (summarized using Copilot):
- The platform no longer aligns with Debian's values, social contract, code of conduct, and diversity statement.
- Concerns over X becoming a place where people they care about don't feel safe.
- Abuse on the platform happening without consequences.
- Issues with misinformation and lack of moderation.

Maybe Discourse? The mobile website is pretty good and there are also a number of third-party mobile apps.

Excellent. Thank you for the suggestion. Iāll take a look at Discourse.
