Henning SchwentnerHey #DDDesign community, I think it’s great that many of us have found our way to the fediverse and enjoying it. Maybe now is the time for a next step. Other communities have started their own Mastodon servers like phpc.social, ruby.social, or agilealliance.social. What do you think—should we have our own server (like ddd.social or mastoddd.one) as well?
@philipmay @mstine @ewolff @carolali @VaughnVernon @bitboss @mo @wps @janekf @oliver Thanks for all your answers! Many diverse ideas here 😃 Paging @ntcoding @TonyBologni @Heimeshoff @mathiasverraes @hofstef @yellowbrickc @yreynhout @dylanbeattie @JulieLerman @zsofideaz @Cyriux @tPl0ch @kenny_baas @joaorosa @weltraumpirat @ddoomen @trondhjort @martinschimak Do you have an opinion on this? 🙂
@philipmay @mstine @ewolff @carolali @VaughnVernon @bitboss @mo @janekf @oliver @ntcoding @TonyBologni @yellowbrickc To summarize some of the discussion: so if mastodon.social and the like are too broad and ddd.social would be to narrow, would it then make sense that we join @indu and @nova (and also @kentbeck and @pragdave) and move over to Hachyderm?

No strong opinion here, but it seems like moving to a different server still limits options because you'll never have "everyone" there and topics will be limited by those who are there.
Besides, what does hachyderm mean? (I got a skin cancer scan on Wednesday and that's what comes to mind.) The only description I find is that it's a group of 'respectful tech professionals.' That's good. Still, I'd like to know more about why it's the place to be. (My choice for tilde.zone was based on finding a server that was accepting new accounts when others were closed due to heavy influx.)
