What is your biggest gripe with music discoverability as a listener and/or musician?

We've been discussing #fedi-related options and talking about encouraging curiosity around music over here: https://the.socialmusic.network/t/discoverability-on-the-fediverse-and-thought-dump/544/22

We've been thinking about #FediForum and how it might link to music communities. We're discussing it here if you'd like to chime in:

In the past what made FediForum a success? What should a music fedi forum replicate? What should it avoid?

Time for a little #introduction!

We're the Save and Load Club, a book club community centered around Visual Novels.

We pick something from a list of member suggestions, vote on what to read and then, while reading, discuss the VN together!

This account will be used to announce new sessions or other significant news. You can also always ask questions about the site.

A more detailed rundown on what this is and how it works can be found on our forums with the link below.

There's always drama with the Breached/BreachForums saga. Here's some of what has been going on in the past few weeks after BreachForums[.]st went offline without any explanation:

Hejså!

Jeg ser oftere og oftere dette kald om at forlade Meta den 1. maj – hvor spændende! I den forbindelse vil jeg gerne minde jer om (eller anbefale) at tjekke det forum, vi har lavet, hvor man kan blive onboardet til Fediverset – altså det mere etiske alternativ, der tilbydes.

Der kan du stille alle dine spørgsmål, tjekke kategorier og finde arkiveret info om mange emner (privatbeskeder, sociale netværk, forskellen mellem Pixelfed og Mastodon m.m.).

Tag et kig – eller del det med dine venner, din familie og dine kollegaer.

Glædelig 1ste maj, lad os sende Meta på tidlig pension!

Sunlight streams through the ancient Roman columns, with the sun creating a radiant starburst effect. These are the remains of the Temple of Saturn, an ancient Roman temple to the god Saturn, found in what is now the Roman Forum in Rome, Italy.

Nur noch 47 Tage:

#Gültigkeit von #TLS - #Zertifikaten wird drastisch verkürzt

Ab 2029 dürfen #TLS-Zertifikate statt 398 nur noch höchstens 47 Tage lang gültig sein. Der von #Apple eingereichte Vorschlag hat breite Zustimmung erhalten.

Das #CA / #Browser #Forum hat beschlossen, die maximale Gültigkeitsdauer digitaler Zertifikate für den verschlüsselten Datenaustausch via #SSL / #TLS von aktuell 398 auf deutlich geringere 47 Tage zu reduzieren.

Hey fedi, is there any good, reliable, open source forum software that is created in Europe, is not developed by bigots of any sorts? Bonus follow-up question: what would be some hassle free, Europe based, not very expensive hosting options for that kind of stuff? Note: definitely not Hetzner.

#AskFedi #Forum #selfhost

#discord IS LITERALLY THE PROBLEM!

• It's worse than any #IRC, #Mumble or even the old #TeamSpeak & #Skype for that matter.

• It combines the disadvantages of #Forum, #paywalled #documentation, #chat and #voicechat with 0 redeeming qualities (unlike #Zulip & Mumble & #XMPP+#OMEMO) it's just an #InformationBlackhole!

I'm shure fecking #dread has better moderation and I'd rather use #MicrosoftTeams + #Slack cuz those at least have proper #moderation tools.

• And I'd rather subscribe to the #LKML and see my inbox getting hosed than using any shitty #SaaS!

Case in point: I'd rather #SelfHost all my comms infrastructure than to ever use something like Discord or any other #GDPR-violating SaaS that is just enshittification.

I'd rather recommend people to instead choose a tool that does everything but horrible to go with multiple smaller & good tools

• Public Chat? IRC!
• Group Voicechat? Mumble.
• #Documentation? #mkDocs-material.
• 1:1 Chats? XMPP+OMEMO.
• E2EE Group Chats? #deltaChat.
• E2EE Calls? #WebCall.
• Filehosting? #IPFS, #BitTorrent, oshi.at, etc. ...
• …

Check @alternativeto and @european_alternatives for options.

I kinda want a #forum. IDK if I could get people to use it, but I miss the vibe. Log in, reply, go do something else. No algorithm, good notifications.
