[email protected] [email protected] I'm here making it a reality!
Topical forums definitely have their place, and the federation aspect is icing on the cake as far as I'm concerned.

Fundamentally, mastodon (and twitter, bluesky, etc etc) doesn't really work for me. -
re: VPNs...Was wondering all day why my internet was so slow. Turns out I've had my laptop VPN proxying all my requests through Vienna, Austria, for the better part of two weeks.
Yes, I am a professional, why do you ask?

I’ve been thinking about community software most of my life.[email protected] Piefed and Lemmy are link aggregators, but a couple of those next-gen forums (notably, [email protected]) have joined the fediverse.
Different strokes for different folks, but sometimes a good honest forum UX is the ideal path forward

Also are you sure you want to ride AC hahaha

I’ve been thinking about community software most of my life.[email protected] oooh interesting...! And a little teaser at the end too
> I don’t believe software exists today that follows all these beliefs, but I found an established community software project willing to try with me.

> Fifteen years after I joined a couple of Canadian entrepreneurs to ride a wave of “next-generation” community software, I believe it’s time to take another big swing.Who were these Canadian entrepreneurs? What's the next big swing? It sounds interesting!

If I wanted to mess around with ActivityPub c2s clients what's a server I can host that has support for it?[email protected] Can you use ActivityPub.academy? There is a logger built in so you can see the activities coming and going. It might help you debug why the ONI activities aren't being processed.

If we were to do a regular online Fediverse meeting —I would be happy to sponsor (NodeBB has Google Workspace), but FOSS hosts like jitsi are also good.
Representation from the Threadiverse would be great. [email protected] recently held a Piefed office hours that was convenient for both he and I (8pm GMT).

SyncThing + ImmichHaving a fever dream where I combine SyncThing and Immich and can say goodbye to Google nagging me to buy storage forever (today I am at 99.6%)
Theoretically I only have to do Google Takeout once too.
Just need my ADHD brain to actually buckle down and do it.
Also docker. Blech.

HN as usual...Like... I mean, I get the enthusiasm behind ATProto, and it's kind of awe-inspiring the technical stuff that comes out of the ATmosphere... but it all (and I mean, practically ALL OF IT) comes with a nagging feeling that it's a re-invention of classical data structures and transmission clouded in technical word soup that has evolved in its own echo chamber so much that it no longer bears any passing resemblance to existing technology.
... and there are all these really bright, really smart people who understand all of it, and so that other part of me feels like the first meme, where I am just along for the ride.
You know where I've seen it before?
Crypto.
You know where else I've seen it?
AI.
It has a smell to it that I can't describe properly.
So now I'm the old man yelling at clouds.
When did I get here I wonder.

Admin User ability to view private messaging of regular usersTwissell it is possible, yes. NodeBB chats are not E2EE, so don't use it with anything more than superficial expectations of privacy.
That said, there are no easily available tools to do so. You'd have to build your own interface or dive into the database to read said messages.

I have a Mastodon List of "Group Accounts", which makes for a good timeline of discussions around specific topics.[email protected] love to see it! Bringing the threadiverse to Mastodon is important to me, and even if the UI presentation is less than ideal, it's the content that matters most

Canada Post, hospitals, and schools aren't (or shouldn't be) private businesses, they are public services.@[email protected] mm, I mean yes, I agree with that, though I don't agree with giving organizations a carte blanche simply because they're public services.
I heard (on the CBC) that Canada Post is hemorrhaging $10M a day. That's cause for some concern ...
