CIRCLE WITH A DOT

@stasdigi Hulde! Ik hoop op gedecentraliseerde digitalisering (zoals Mastodon) waarbij we federatie stimuleren en niet hypercentralisatie. Dat voorkomt veel techgiganten gedoe.

@pkirn hehe sure thing! chat seems to be a plugin in the selfhosted discourse version. Haven't tried it though. I feel like discourse has lots of options integrations etc, which at the same time also frightens me (one big central blackbox for everything). For my microcommunity stuff I think Im just going for https://ergo.chat + bot via my https://nodered.org instance (it has ircnodes) to interface with other stuff (my repo wikis/issuetrackers etc).

@pkirn https://obsidianirc.github.io thats a default webbuild, but you can limit it like i did here: https://chat.isvery.ninja

@pkirn funny that you mention gopher/usenet. I see more communities doing that (search 'gopher' in https://tildeverse.org/). Perhaps webplatform-fatique is real, and less interfaces is a good thing.
Makes me think...what if we would be able to 'translate' repo wikis/issuetrackers into these ecosystems.
Also makes me realize: why do i need discourse forums/wikis **next to** the issuetracker/wikis of my repositories..

@pkirn it took them a while Pretty weird feeling to move from IRC to Matrix to IRCv3 TBH.
Still on the fence though..Discourse has both forum+chat..but perhaps Im just going lightweight: discourse forum + (Obsidian)IRC(v3).

@pkirn I've looked into it. But currently Im hesitating between a forum+chat-combi (=discourse) and chat+bots-combi (=IRCV3).

https://github.com/ObsidianIRC/ObsidianIRC is a discord-like native/web client, which works with any IRCv3 server (Im using https://ergo.chat).
Discourse/zulip are nice, but I like discord's ability to 'add servers' like with obsidianIRC, and the fact that they have a webclient (https://obsidianirc.github.io/) which I can seed with own servers (multiple communities/projects e.g.)
