the collapse/shutdown of yesterweb "community" underscores one of the vulnerabilities of using Discord as any nexus/center for a community: zero archival
#
vladimyr
Discord? Wasn't cannonical watercooler place of Yesterweb their forum?
#
vladimyr
But otherwise +1 on not using Discord in such way
#
[schmarty]
They use (used?) a web forum, yes. Discourse-based, I think.
#
[schmarty]
(I read some threads about the collapse of the yesterweb web ring there)
#
[tantek]
worth updating the /Yesterweb article accordingly with links to a few of those threads?
#
[tantek]
at least to shorten the dfn to fit in a Loqi response
#
[tantek]
what is Yesterweb
#
Loqi
Yesterweb is a website and community (Discord, Mastodon, Hubs, Gemini, Minecraft instances) that is “focused on nurturing creativity and diversity in web pages and digital social infrastructure”, with a number of member contributed manifestos that occasionally reference IndieWeb as well, but mainly focuses on freedom of artistic expression, and the possibilities to create how and whatever you like by having your own homepage https://indieweb.org/Yesterweb

Yesterweb << to-do: shorten the dfn so a "What is yesterweb" query in chat returns a complete unelided definition

That’s not how I understand scare quotes at all, but I am not going to argue as in my view it has zero connection to anything IndieWeb.

Same, not the common usage.

what is scare quotes
#
Loqi
Scare quotes are the use of quotation marks intended to signal something about the term, like skepticism for it or others' misuse of it. For more information and uses, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scare_quotes https://indieweb.org/Scare_Quotes
