  1. Shutting down the web forum I've been running for not quite 10 years now.

    Could've coped with increasing hosting costs, spambots and troll factory somehow.

    But what killed it is vague, overbearing legal threats from the #UK, a country I left when it drunkenly stumbled out of the EU after too many pints of Ole Tory.

    Many web forums are shutting down because of this. One of them explains here: lfgss.com/conversations/401475

    Of course it's all "for the children".

  6. More and more #reddit previews stop working these days. Current example: my #RSS #Atom feed aggregator.

    I want to emphasize that I've warned about that years ago:

    Don't Contribute Anything Relevant in #WebForums Like Reddit, #HN, #Slashdot and for most parts of my arguments even #Lemmy:

  21. 4 years ago, my personal #website, which had the domain name houseoffireseed.ml as I was primarily known as Fireseed back then, launched as just a single HTML page saying this website is live! Then more pages were added. Then the site got a navigation bar. Then the navigation bar became dynamic thanks to @BrailleScreen and PHP. Then there was a #blog, a #WebForum, an #InternetRadio stream, a #Discord server, a new seedy.gq domain name, and most recently, a groups.io mailing list. And that's how my extensive network of sites and services is today! Thanks to everyone who has visited one or more of my sites, listened to my radio stream, downloaded my software, joined my Discord server or any of my other online communities, and supported me in any other way throughout these last 4 years! I didn't even think I'd see this day, but I was recently assured by a good friend of mine, Jonathan Kay, that the server that hosts all this awesome seedy.gq stuff will remain up and running for as long as possible. I'm not sure if you're in the fediverse Jonathan, but if you are, and you get to read this, a huge thank you to you! Here's to 4 more years!

  26. Wie lame ist es, was ich hier nun mache? Ich motze über das #Webforum #MusikerBoard, weil man dort nicht über #Politik und #Gesellschaft diskutieren darf. Interessant, nicht? Musiker, die nicht Teil von Politik und Gesellschaft sein sollen. #Kunst frei von #Kontext ?!

    Sponsor #Thomann freut's, denn meist wird über den #Konsum neuer #Gitarren diskutiert. Aber wenn man das dort kritisiert, wird der entsprechende Post gleich gelöscht.

    Brave #Konsumbürger sollen wir bitte sein, sonst nix.

    Und somit ist das MusikerBoard irgendwie prinzipiell #Facebook sehr ähnlich. Man ist auf die #Gnade des #Anbieters angewiesen, und da man nichts bezahlt, ist der #Kunde das #Produkt. Wenn man seinen Account löschen lässt, kriegt man keinen neuen, die eigenen Forumsbeiträge bleiben bestehen – die Nutzung eigener (textuellen) Leistung bleibt also lebenslänglich beim Forenbetreiber (Löschung wurde verweigert).

    Hat Gemeinsamkeiten mit einem miesen #Plattenvertrag, als es noch Record Deals gab… ich war noch zu klein.

  28. Any recommendation on a web forum mostly for user support and developers? Is Discourse any good? Any other choices?

    • Open source
    • Possibility to self-host
    • Discussion threads
    • External clients besides web is nice. NNTP access?

  34. I have no idea why people are insisting of using really bad #webforum platforms like #reddit: karl-voit.at/2020/10/23/avoid-

    The pure pain when you re-visit a thread and have no idea what you already processed and what not. #UX at its worst.

  36. It seems that I got an unusual number of negative ratings on my #reddit posting in recent days.
    This is how I found out that I do care about this stupid karma points too much. Maybe I should look for a browser extension that hides those little pieces of heroin? 🤔
    Leaving reddit altogether would be even better but I haven't found a better way of promoting my blog articles to a larger group of people who haven't learned how to use #RSS/#Atom yet. #decentralization #webforum #PIM
