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.)
Vicente Herrera@VaughnVernon Hi Vaughn, pleased to meet you. Let me introduce myself so that way you know someone from hachyderm. I work as a Cybersecurity consultant at Control Plane, specialized on Kubernetes and Fintech. Many of us know at some degree @nova, and her constant stance for inclusivity, open source, and Kubernetes. So when she set up this server, we knew the kind of environment she would foster, the effort she would put into it, and how it will attract the same kind of people.
@VaughnVernon @nova Some of the people that came are very know in the tech and open source scene (and also people advocating for inclusivity in general), so they have attracted even more that want to be close to then, that is, in the same server. Althou Hachyderm maintainers have been overwhelmed by the avalanche of people, they have demonstrated a great effort on scaling up and keeping everything running, sharing live every technical detail and decision.
@VaughnVernon Although you can migrate your account again in the future, it's rather inconvenient, so you are right considering if this is the right choice. If it's not, that's ok also! You can read more about it here: https://github.com/hachyderm/community
