Speaking of #EuropeanAlternatives, is there any for #TransactionalMail ? Not email providers, not newsletter providers, but those third parties that offer you a mail server to send email notifications and etc from your website.
In my case, it's for #Discourse instances. I'm still using #Mailgun which, well, may or maybe not count as European given its owner #Sinch, but also I'd like to migrate to a more fair and social option if possible (also not to just a brand cover with AWS underneath).
Been using #Discourse for a full decade.
I'm grateful for this awesome software that enables long term knowledge building and conversational communities, far away from instant gratification of capitalist platforms.
@palemoon @delta @gmc @Discourse The Pale Moon team and community is great. I don't blame you at all, I'll just keep calling out when sites like #Discourse are being dumb. ;)

Also FYI, the Discourse team have been implementing ActivityPub, as have the crews developing other forum packages like BB. So although it takes quite a bit of manual work by admins at present, there is potential to bring a wide range of web forums into the threadiverse.
Hello Fediverse! Feels good to be back! With this account I hope to make my small contributions in #romance #horrorliterature research and the #discourse around #horror, #fear, the #uncanny and #affect in general, but also to share some thoughts on the current political and philosophical discourse concerning #affecttheory #psychoanalysis #existentialism and #cosmotechnics
Writing primarily in ENG and GER but also in RU, IT, PT, ESP and maybe even FR!
Malgré que je sois newbie , je suis passée de modératrice à admin sur le #forum #discourse d'une asso , il y a une maj critique a faire dessus, j'ai donc contacté le geek qui l a installé et le gérait pour apprendre à faire et me suis fait envoyer bouler. Des pistes pour une reprise en main totale d'un forum maj comprises + vers qui pourrais je me tourner pour détecter les backdoor que cette personne a créé. le repouet aide à se libérer des relous
Would there be anyone down to help us host a discourse forum?
@nicksherman My ongoing Thing is #TASAT ("There's A Story About That!"), an initiative from scientist and #scifi author @davidbrin
It's meant to deliver weighty, timely questions to a network of #sciencefiction fans who can cite books/stories/films exploring possible outcomes of similar situations. (We also encourage general sci-fi discussion, reviews, etc.)
My role in the project has been to create a landing page and set up, maintain, and administer a self-hosted #Discourse forum. It's been a great experience:
Of all the things wrong with my language* I find that my ableism is the hardest to get rid of.
I try, then I fail, then I try again. I will keep trying until I no longer fail. And I try to tell myself every time I don't fall into ableism, it's is one discursive act improved.
* That I know of.
An intriguing new project by @raphael provides a pluggable #django app with the models, views and background tasks to let any django application integrate with any other service that uses #ActivityPub
Enabling popular "generic" web platforms like django, laravel etc. to integrate with the #fediverse complements the development of plugins for more specific apps like #wordpress, #discourse etc. and the dedicated "social media" type servers like #mastodon and #pixelfed
https://codeberg.org/mushroomlabs/django-activitypub-toolkit
Wanted to start a convo with @johnonolan@mastodon.xyz from Ghost and @angus@socialhub.activitypub.rocks from Discourse about AP resource discovery.
A common use case from fediverse users is to be linked out to a site, and attempt to "bring it in" to their local instance/app of choice. This is done by taking the browser URL and pasting it into their site/app's search bar, or equivalent.
For example:
For context, last night I discovered that Ghost's latest blog post didn't make it into NodeBB, due to a bug on my end. I attempted to resolve it via URL but there was no AP resource at that URL. I ended up having to query the instance actor (which I happened to already know), and looking at the outbox.
To my knowledge there is no way to find a Discourse post or topic's AP resource ID without having a local Discourse account.
Would it be possible for you to send back an HTTP 301 Moved Permanently (or similar) if the Accepts header contains one of the AP-related types?
N.B. This probably has some overlap with @evan@cosocial.ca's HTTP Discovery Task Force, a 308 is recommended there.
Our updated forum, finally! - forum.tromjaro.com/t/our-updat…
This is a very short post to tell you that we have finally updated our Discourse forum to the latest. For the past year (or more) the Yunohost package for Discourse (what we use) was quite broken and we ended up having an entire separate server just or the forum since we could not update the server itself because of it. Therefore we had an old forum on an old server.
Now we managed to do some gymnastics and move it to our main server and update it. Finally! From now on I hope there will be no more such issues.
I was willing to even give up on all of our forum posts, accounts and comments just to be able to update it and not pay for a separate server for it.
But now all is good. All is fixed apparently.
Many thanks to the folks from Yunohost for the work that they do! And to those who made the Discourse software!
In 1973, a brilliant critic named Stuart Hall created a diagram that changed the way we study media, and could help you survive this moment. Just dropped: the second letter in my series about how to analyze the media in a time of crisis. It's all about codes. https://buttondown.com/thehypothesis/archive/the-man-who-discovered-media-codes-and-how-to/ #media #stuarthall #mediastudies #discourse
Bread update!
I bring you bread 3!
If you look back to my last post, you can see the size of the dough about doubled overnight while in the fridge. I was grinning ear to ear while baking it this morning- seeing it increase in size again in the oven :)
The verdict- delicious- however I do think I could add a little more salt next time. I added more starter (about doubling it), but didn't change the salt ratio to keep it at 2% of the flour mass. So the bread is a little on the bland side flavor wise. Just flour, water an salt!
Maybe I am rushing a bit, but I think for Bread 4, I am gonna include some flavorants- Sun dried tomatoes and maybe some cheese an olives or fried onions?
I am planning on bringing bread 4 to crit night at Urbanglass this Thursday, the 13th at 6pm. You can come to crit my Art and/or my bread as we break bread together.

Heya.
Which ethical platform would you use to host a free community that is not self-hosted? (I don't have the tech know-how nor the desire right now to look into self-hosted solutions)
I heard of #discord and #discourse...
@terppa @rolle @saurau @stedi Kaipaan niin tekoälyä tähän käyttöön. En jaksa lakata mainitsemasta tätä, mutta AI- kytkentä poisti käytännössä kokonaan alt-kysymyksen #Discourse foorumeilla. Siis siltä osin kuin adminit ottivat sen käyttöön.
The thing I hate about #Discourse is the need to use docker. Docker is a PITA to run in systemd-nspawn, and I guess #lxc, too. I would put much more energy into hosting my Discourse if I just could install it in my system containers without too much hassle.
Other than that, Discourse is great.
