I'm a fan of BBS software. IMO, they're still the best type of platform for community-based discussion, planning & collaboration that may span over weeks, months, or more. BBSs are declining in usage, mainly because other social media have eaten their lunch...

But there are still many thousands of forums out there, each an island on its own... Independent; each site a labor of love...

I am enjoying Mastodon, especially for discovering new music, but something about toots & micro-blogging feels like shouting in the wind & hoping someone hears you through the gale... 😆

I use SimpleMachines forums. (Yes, it's still around!) As a baby step to bringing the two worlds together, I developed an SMF mod to monitor toots & post them in your SMF forum:

I.T. people aren't into #web3 #mastodon just yet /snark

The #TippingPoint in leaving behind #ToxicSocialMediaOnePointOh #continues

Encourage your #House & #Senate critters to #participate on #web3!

One way to do this is to link them to the list of #journalists who have already made the #web3 jump so they can directly engage with said followers / followed, imo. iF there was an #opml like export function of #followers #RFE on #mastodon like #RSS2 file format defined protocol where the followers and followed could be easily import/exported IN THE WEB CLIENT, this will accelerate adoption greatly imo.

I have a weekly outreach campaign on #Twitter to encourage the adoption of #web3 #decentralized #fediverse tech and ask them, jokingly, 'When will the #intern get you on #mastodon? Go #intern! #📰 #RTDNA #news #web3outreach #media ' 🤓👨‍🏫👩‍🏫👨‍🏫👩‍🏫🤓

Somebody please tell me how do I add Reddit/LibReddit feeds to my RSS reader! 🥺
It's just not happening! 😐
