#gathertown — Public Fediverse posts

The #NEST Conference 2026 (https://nest-simulator.org/conference) has just started! I’m looking forward to two days of talks and discussions on #NeuralNetworks and the latest advances in the #NESTSimulator ✌️

Btw: We’re using #GatherTown again and I love creating these #8bit-like avatars there 👾

New on the blog: Requiem for writing town https://ideophone.org/requiem-for-writing-town/

On the co-working space we co-designed for our team in corona times, what we learned about interactional affordances, why surface realism is overrated, and how we created a sense of connectedness — with @Iris @mariekewoe @andreasliesenfeld @marlourasenberg and many others

Qui se souvient de #workAdventure et #gatherTown ? C'était un moyen de se rencontrer en visio dans un espace virtuel en 2D.

Y'a une tentative de refaire ça en logiciel libre et pair-à-pair : https://codeberg.org/daega/waytale

@jezhiggins @ACCU I hope to see you both in person and in #gathertown then :-) . I am wrapping up a project on monday that was in gathertown for a year. And thought I'd step away from a bit :-) . I enjoy gathertown though.

@ACCU can attendees on-site also join #gathertown ? Love the idea (I live mostly in the cloud, but Bristol is close by :-) ).

Scientific conferences:

• what makes them so much better in person than online?
• How can we improve online conferences so people enjoy them as much as in person ones?
• What's your favourite platform for online conferences? #Gathertown isn't bad I think? And obviously #Neuromatch did great (are these still going?)

Serious questions 😃 please boost and give us your thoughts🙏

I'm currently attending the annual #NEST conference and I couldn't resist playing around with the avatar creator in #Gathertown 🤷‍♂️🥸😅

And #imagesc #gathertown is alive again. What a #community!

Liebe dghd-Mitglieder,
hier ein kleiner Reminder an unsere #Mitgliederversammlung2023:

Wir treffen uns morgen, am 07.09. um 14 Uhr online:
- 1h Plenum via Zoom, danach
- 1h Austausch mit Open End in #Gathertown

Die Einladung zur MV ging bereits im Juni raus, sucht ggf. in euren Mails noch mal :-)

CoPräsenz ist eines der wunderbaren Eigenschaften von Coworking. Für fokussierte Schreibphasen nutze ich die motivierente Dranbleib-Gruppe eines Online SchreibClubs.

Wie das funktioniert, habe ich hier gebloggt:
https://doschu.com/2023/08/online-schreibclub-so-gehts/

- Was ist National Novel Writing Month
- Design der SchreibClubs in #SpatialChat und #GatherTown
- Mit #PeerFinder Dranbleibruppe finden
- Wie cool November für frühmorgendliche Schreibrunden ist
- Was Clubberin Gisela Tolles sagte

Jitsi hat für mich gut funktioniert. Inzwischen haben wir bei der Arbeit BigBlueButton (kurz BBB). Wie bei Jitsi gibt es hier auch jede Menge freie Instanzen, z.B. https://www.senfcall.de. Für Listen siehe auch https://github.com/tosterkamp/random-redirect

Eine Sache, die mir (und anderen) noch Spaß gemacht hat, wenn man es etwas "anders" haben will, ist https://gather.town . Dort sieht & hört man sich erst, wenn man sich mit den Avataren nah ist.

Anyone interested in a #game of … whatever is on those tables in the lobby? #SMBE2023 (or in the #SMBEeverywhere venue?)

Nobody seemed very talkative in #GatherTown during the #conference but the #games might make a good conversation starter?

Preferred times
East Asia ≈ Late night
Europe + Africa ≈ Lunch Time
Americas ≈ Early Morning

They made me join a conference call in #gatherTown, so in protest I took off all my clothes.

Nobody is saying anything; it's awkward...

@jonny yes! They are great, if you haven’t you should check out the FOSS alternative to #Gathertown called #WorkAdventure and its fork by the Chaos Computer Club, which was used by hundreds of users simultaneously during the #rC3 events. It sparked a scene of creators of great little meeting worlds, very playful and experimental. People are even working on a federated version: https://gitlab.com/fediventure/fediventure/-/issues/2 (there is current activity I heard in the #fediventure matrix channel)

My work just closed their office and to compensate they are launching a #gatherTown office.

At @futuremeetings, one of our favourite online (2D) meeting platforms has been #GatherTown: it's cute, works well and with easy browser access. But Gather's free tier is about to drop from 25 users to 10. This isn't unreasonable (they are a company) but their pricing structure is INSANE, with $2100/year for 25 users. This completely prices out small groups (like #TFOM!). By comparison, #Spatial is $240/yr for 50 users per space, and #EngageXR is $120/year for 20 users.

In an hour, we are going to run a new online #conference social: a mini scavenger hunt.

Have you been to any online socials that you liked? #Gathertown, any other ideas?.. I’d love to hear what others do to make the event a bit less like a YouTube playlist and more like a friendly chat!

Wahrscheinlich will man in den #vBIB22-Pausen auch wirklich Pause machen

Aber irgendwie cool wäre ein Bereich bei #GatherTown https://www.gather.town/ trotzdem vielleicht. Privat oder intern sprengt man ja selten die kostenlosen 25. Danach wird's leider etwas teuer. Gäbe auch selber gehostet (#WorkAdventure: https://github.com/thecodingmachine/workadventure), aber hat vermutlich auch niemand für größere Dimensionen rumliegen...
