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!
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

@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 ⚡
