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.)
Cassandrich@VaughnVernon @hschwentner Not sure what "have everyone" is supposed to mean. Your followers and following can be from any instance - it doesn't matter unless they're on one your instance blocks. Just the firehoses (local and federated timelines, not very useful), "explore", and visibility into hashtags are limited by your choice of instance. And these things work best if you're on an instance with ppl whose values & interests overlap with yours.
@dalias @hschwentner Thanks. I know that. I question was possed that perhaps a group of individuals interested in some set of tech topics should move to hachyderm. My thoughts expressed the "why should I do that when I would still have to follow people not on hachyderm?" I don't mind doing so, but I don't know how that would "solve" the fediverse when it's not supposed to be "solved."
@VaughnVernon @hschwentner Avoiding following people on other instances isn't supposed to be a goal. Choice of instance is about (most importantly) having reliable operations and moderation. There's a sense of community in that too, and it helps discovering things you want to see, but there's no reason you need to try to get others to move to your instance.
@dalias As I said, I know that. Your continued assumptive comments aren't helping me, but thanks again 😅
@VaughnVernon @hschwentner OK, sorry - I guess I was misunderstanding what you were looking for.
