Regarding the position of scicomm.xyz on #Meta and in the Fediverse, #FediPact etc.

After discussion between myself and the other mods and considering the views expressed by the people on our instance we have decided that pre-emptive blocking of Meta is warranted.

There is more detail on the background and explanation of this decision in a post on our companion site, here:
https://about.scicomm.xyz/doku.php?id=blog:2023:0625_meta_on_the_fediverse_to_block_or_not_to_block

Thanks to our people for their comments and suggestions to help us reach this decision.

@quokka

Thank you for your collaborative decision (which I fully support) and detailed write-up.

Also, it was good seeing the scicomm blog, which I had not seen before. I see that it uses DokuWiki, and I'd like to say that it's the most attractively styled DokuWiki instance I think I've ever seen. I don't know if the UI is an available template or something you and/or others here custom developed. Anyway, it's a great looking and very helpful blog with a lot of useful info.

@jrdmb Thank you!

Yes, I am a long time #dokuwiki user :D

The About site uses a regular dokuwiki template called 'Read The Dokus' (styled after Read The Docs) with some changes to the colour scheme so it was more Masto-like.

Oh and DW are on Mastodon, hello @dokuwiki !
