#discord IS LITERALLY THE PROBLEM!

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

Check @alternativeto and @european_alternatives for options.

#mattermost ist auch so ein schmerzhaftes Beispiel. Enthusiasten wie @xldrkp loten alle Möglichkeiten aus, auch für die Lehre. #Slack User finden Mattermost nicht adäquat und werben für die Slack-Channels (bis sich die Slack-Konditionen ändern). Der Rest kennt und will #teams.
Mattermost ändert die Konditionen und will Geld sehen. Wahrscheinlich waren alternative Finanzierungsmodelle nicht möglich.
Wir sehen uns bei Teams. (Lizenz- und Preisentwicklung offen)

For some reason, an hour after posting this the keyboard shortcut stopped working. I used Ctrl+/ to bring up the #Slack keyboard shortcuts and it lists "Jump to unread messages" as Ctrl+J, but that doesn't work either 🤷‍♂️
Luckily, you can still use Ctrl+K (or Ctrl+G) to search for "Unreads" to access it

Vous en avez marre des limitations de la fonctionnalité de recherche de Slack ?

Connaissez-vous Framateam ? Basé sur le logiciel libre #Mattermost, cette plateforme de discussion est très similaire à #Slack.

En revanche, comme #Framateam est entièrement gratuit grâce à vos dons, nous ne limitons pas les fonctionnalités pour vous pousser à prendre un compte premium !

Votre organisation devrait apprécier ! 😉

Interesting reflection on the landscape of #chat systems from @wireapp .
wire.com/en/blog/lessons-from-
Indeed it shows that there's a lot of progress still to be done and that consumer social networks may need differentiation.

What is shimmering in all this is the wish to have tools that are able to speak to various security levels... The mail apps do this mostly. The landscape is by far more advanced and more nuanced.

Slack draait op de achtergrond, ik zie berichten binnenkomen, maar ik kan er niet bij want deze versie is "not supported".
De nieuwe versie kan niet op mijn oudere Android. En nieuwere Androids kunnen niet op m'n oude telefoon (die verder nog als een zonnetje werkt).
Dit is dus het einde.
Van Slack op de telefoon welteverstaan.
En niet omdat het niet werkt, maar gewoon beleid.

On the tooling side, we are not using any special #PairProgramming software yet, and I have a hunch that we won't.

You can get very far with very little friction with just screen sharing over a #Slack huddle. We can talk to each-other, both see what the "driver" is seeing, we cannot type into the editor at the same time, but the "watcher" can draw on the screen.

Was reading old discussions about why did Slack win out over IRC (for some definition of win?)

tedium.co/2017/10/17/irc-vs-sl

Found these quotes interesting.

"Why is it, out of all the prominent internet protocols in use during the early ’90s, only two of them—email and the World Wide Web—have managed to hold on in a way where most people use them on a regular basis" -- Ernie Smith 2017

"Why did slack win?
Because whenever somebody asked for:
* 24/7 presence, the reply was "you can do that with a bouncer"
* backlog, the reply was "you can do that with a bouncer"
* full text search, the reply was "that's up to the client implementation"
* file sharing, the reply was "it's already possible with XDCC"

and so on and so forth.

Basically, it's not that Slack is great, it's because IRC as a whole just refused to adapt to what users actually wanted/needed." -- em6m 2020

Not saying I agree exactly, just interesting.
