"You get a social network, you get a social network and everybody gets a social network." Current trend pushing networked-topical chat to decentralized servers. We used to just call them IRC servers or forums and bulletin boards but I'm happy to be here experiencing the (hopeful) rebirth. Discourse and Mastodon both running RoR stacks. Maybe we can get some Discodon (Mastocourse?) integration between the two. Would definitely be killer. Sort of a Stack Overflow meets Slack.
