I recently joined a custom Mastadon server that has a funny tweak: you're not allowed to use the letter "E" or any character variation on it.
https://motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/its-like-tweeting-but-you-cant-use-the-letter-e It's a silly constraint that leads to some rather clever writing. Not something I've really spent much time with, but it reminds me of some of the early internet communities that I joined in that it's relatively small and the ability to create these special sub communities is kinda like how forums have sub-forums, allowing more focused conversations to thrive. Would be fun to see something like this set up for coworking. I presume someone has to pay for the server to keep it running, right? Or is there a way to run one for free? -Alex ------------------ *The #1 mistake in community building is doing it by yourself.* Better Coworkers: http://indyhall.org Weekly Coworking Tips: http://coworkingweekly.com My Audiobook: https://theindyhallway.com/ten On Tue, Apr 25, 2017 at 2:26 PM, Yann Heurtaux <yann.heurt...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi there, > I am extensively testing Mastodon (something a lot like twitter, but based > on FOSS, decentralized: anybody can run an instance where people host their > accounts, and the instance connects to a "Fediverse" aka a Federation of > servers using the same software, et voilà, you get Twitter, but better, > that passed the half-million users worldwide recently). > > Are there other members of this group looking forward to opening a > coworking dedicated instance? > Do you think that could be a cool service to offer on coworking.org? > > I am @shalf@mastodon.social <https://mastodon.social/@shalf> if you wanna > join and discuss this there. > -Y. > > -- > Visit this forum on the web at http://discuss.coworking.com > --- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Coworking" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to coworking+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout. > -- Visit this forum on the web at http://discuss.coworking.com --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Coworking" group.
