Hey Folx!
In preparation for the meeting on June 30th, we've got our Discord server up and organized how we would like. You can access it via https://discord.gg/T2BeU2Q.
If you're interested in helping with the board being put together, join up and we look forward to your contributions!
Let's #ForkOffTogether!
@kithop try again
@maloki Got it; thanks!
@maloki Can I join to watch?
@Sir_Boops Yes, it's a public meeting
And, as I mentioned, the horse job is done, and I'm close to handing over the keys to the community that wants to do this together.
If you consider the work I've done thus far valuable, and want to give me a little something for it would be most welcome.

Thank you for being patient with me, and for all the help. <3
@melunaka Merci :).
I'm so happy about the people who are showing up :>
Remember, you are allowed to invite anyone you think will be interested in this meeting!
I've asked @PaulFerence and @brainblasted for help with setting up a bridge to irc or matrix.
If you have experience doing such stuff, feel free to reach out to them and offer your support (I can be tagged out of it).
@PaulFerence @brainblasted Good luck!, from what I understand getting at discord is kinda a pain. Hmu if you need someone to help test.
@maloki sorry for not answering your toot about the invite, cybre.space went down for the whole day yesterday.
@Anna No worries :>
@Anna You could join today though ;)
@maloki I will, soon after my commute!
@maloki OK, thanks. I'll look into that.
Over 30 people on the discord 
And these introductions, are giving me so much faith in this project.
Thank you everyone 💞
If you've pinged me today, but I haven't verified you yet, feel free to poke me agian!
50+ people!
Already some good discussions about what open source alternatives we can build the future infrastructure on.
Talking about names, and there's some very cute and nice ones on the wall!
Pre-discussions ahead of the meeting are going on, so we can make the meeting as efficient as possible!
@maloki I'm curious about your project. Are you intent on building a completely new fediverse server, alongside Mastodon, Pleroma and GNU Social?
@loke I don't have the spoons to explain all the things atm.
Basically only on ground level of inviting people who felt disenfranchised and dismissed by main masto development, and want to #ForkOff so we are going to #ForkOffTogether.
I don't think we'll code anything from scratch, but rather be like glitch-soc is to Mastodon.
@loke but even that isn't decided.
@maloki I see. How many developers are working on the project?
@loke We're not that far off yet.
We're focusing on community before code.
@loke Here's some stats:
@maloki thank you. That was interesting.
I wish you the best of luck. What you are trying to do (build a community around an open source project from the ground up) is incredibly hard.
Over 60 people
We're going to do some good stuff together! \o/
80 peoople who want to participate, make their voices heard or just observer.
You're all fantastic 
(The link to the discord is further up in this thread, if you want to participate! See you in 7-8hrs)
@maloki I'm not totally sure what this is but I've caught bits a pieces here and there and I'm interested, so I've just registered ⚡
Remember, if there's people who you want to see represented at this meeting, or someone that hasn't showed up yet, but you think should be there and have a voice, you are allowed to invite them.
This is a public meeting, and everyone is welcome. <3
@maloki Says invite invalid/expired FYI for me.
