I don't get why #Zulip is not used more often in "forums", for support work and for general community building. IMO, it's got modern UI and it's purpose-built to organize communities and help with asynchronous communication that can be searched later. Plus, it's entirely free and open source software and there are both self hosting and paid hosting options.

No other solution I know comes close, especially not the ones that focus on #VoiceChat or try to mimic #Discord, e.g. #Revolt.

Me: Why was it I hated Wes Streeting?

Me: Ah, yes, F that guy.

Another NYC Pride run with mixed emotions. Feels more of a “Pride is protest” kind of year, but still time to celebrate and laugh too. And who doesn’t love rainbow bagels and popsicles? #NYRR

This week I learned while in Venice that the Vaporetto (water bus) has a schematic map and I love it. It’s even better because the 2 line has the same color / font / icon as the 2 subway line in New York #MapNerd https://www.venice.nu/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/mappa_linee_di_navigazione-_aprile_2023_web.pdf
