Im Geiste der aktuellen Bestrebungen, sich von ausbeuterischen Großkonzernen frei zu machen (#DID, #DUD), möchte ich auf meinen Artikel hinweisen, wo ich erkläre, weshalb man bei der Auswahl, wo man sich im Internet einbringt, genauer hinschauen soll.

Don't Contribute Anything Relevant in #WebForums Like #Reddit, #HackerNews, #Slashdot, #StackOverflow, ...
https://karl-voit.at/2020/10/23/avoid-web-forums/ (habe ich auch damals am #37C3 mal vorgetragen)

Der Aspekt, der damals noch keine Rolle gespielt hat war, dass die #KI die Beitragsautor:innen ausbeutet, um beispielsweise damit Profit zu machen.

insofern: überlegt euch, auf welchen Plattformen ihr euer Wissen teilt. Ein eigener #Blog mit RSS/Atom-Feeds wird zusehends spannender.

Also FYI, the Discourse team have been implementing ActivityPub, as have the crews developing other forum packages like BB. So although it takes quite a bit of manual work by admins at present, there is potential to bring a wide range of web forums into the threadiverse.

I really should know better to to use any special interest group or "enthusiast" #webforums. They are almost all either run by misogynistic assholes or filled with misogynistic assholes.

@pedro #Usenet is using a rather old (but very cool) protocol: #NNTP

It had its high time approx. 90s to mid 00s. I *very* much enjoyed it.

It ticks all the boxes when it comes to #federation and freedom of interface: a number of web-based services, CLI tools like #slrn (mine), #Thunderbird and other GUI-tools.

I hope it'll get popular again so that people who care could forget all web-based #forums including #lemmy:

"Today, many folks look back with fondness on the early days of computer-based messaging. Depending on age, they may wax nostalgic for #bbses #Usenet, or #webforums. All these technologies still exist, although either barely used or are full of spam. It’s hard not to think that something may have been lost.
Perhaps the future isn’t one of endless growth for all-powerful corporations but a return to smaller, more personal “third spaces” where we can feel comfortable."

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:

I miss MyBB/PHPBB #webforums so fucking much, guys.

You don't understand.

Karl Voit  Jul 26, 2023

Ha! Ich hab's gewusst. Auch diesmal alle meine Einreichungen abgelehnt.

Der #CCC will offenbar partout keine Vortragsthemen von mir. 😉

Dabei hätte eines der Themen wegen der #reddit-Geschichte so wunderbar gepasst. 😩

Ihr könnt zumindest diesen Vortrag von den GLT22 nachsehen: https://karl-voit.at/2020/10/23/avoid-web-forums/
