RE: mastodon.social/@verge/1160410

What’s the state of “I just want a private forum” these days?

(I’m aware of Taggart’s breakdown, but I explicitly don’t need any of the chat functionality, really just need a forum that is very very private)

Being able to get managed hosting a plus (I’m happy to throw money at people to handle IT admin, I just want to do the community management myself)

RE: mastodon.social/@verge/1160410

Let's imagine I have like 2 or 3 reasons to be using discord today, and I'm trying to move them to something else in the next few weeks because I don't intend to give discord my ID.

The other comparable monolithic option appears to be Zulip, which is fine, as far as it goes. But are there good federated options? People are going to have to migrate to another platform, meaning they will have to bootstrap their identity and social connections all over again. It would be great if this was the last time they had to do that

(I'm aware of matrix, matrix is a bad option. I want good options)

RE: mastodon.social/@verge/1160410

Two things:
1. We are creating a two-tiered internet that will see people willing to give up their IDs having one experience while those who can’t, won’t, or don’t have them missing out on those experiences or being outright excluded from whole areas of the web

2. Why you would be willing to give up your ID to web services that have such poor security in a time when identity is being weaponized by state actors is beyond me
