One thing everyone should realize when they go on to those places is that these are **not** centrally managed by a corporation which also means that these **cost money to run**

That means that you will have to fork money for it you won't get it for quote unquote free or you pay for it with your data, or your usage patterns

You will have to pay actual USD or EUR for them!

#groups #nodeBB #discourse

Jede Wette, das ist nur zwischen Discourse und Discourse und zwischen Discourse und Mastodon getestet. Und in Verbindung mit allem, was sonst so als Gruppenakteur fungieren kann, von Friendica über Hubzilla, über (streams) und Forte, über Lemmy und PieFed, über /kbin und Mbin bis hin zu NodeBB wird es krachend versagen, und zwar auf Arten und Weisen, mit denen die Entwickler im Leben nicht gerechnet hätte.

Überzeugt mich vom Gegenteil.

Discourse beschreibt sein ActivityPub-Plugin

#Discourse hat wohl beschlossen sein ActivityPub-Plugin stärker zu bewerben. Passt ja auch vom Timing her ganz gut zum Drama, das sich so langsam um Discord abzeichnet.

Discourse and the Fediverse!

Two years ago, we started working on a plugin that brings Discourse and the Fediverse closer together. Discourse communities are online spaces that facilitate open collaboration and communication.

Meta has banned mentions of Linux on their platform—despite, you know, Facebook’s product depending on Linux.

This is a good time to encourage #Linux devs and users to set up communities on #NodeBB, #Mbin, #Lemmy, #Friendica, #Discourse, and #WordPress.

And enable #ActivityPub for greater visibility.

Facebook is blocking Linux topics and channels with no apparent reason

Facebook has taken an anti-Linux stance

#Discourse is really sweet to host and it has a vast plugin community.

And themes to control what fields to expose

Fwiw, some of the discourse devs were in the original stack overflow team.
