hi doesnm, I don't quite understand the screenshot. are you proposing adding a new Criticism (singular is ok) section to /Discord with that content? I think it's reasonable to add Criticism sections to silos that are missing it, and particularly helpful if each item can provide a link for citation.

[tantek]: modify existing
#
[tantek]
that's why I was confused I think, I didn't see a diff (if that's what you were asking for review of)
#
doesnm
i'm screenshoted a preview, didn't pushed it
#
[tantek]
is it the "but you can use" part?
#
[Richard_Wildin]
Which channel should I post a web developer job advertisement to?
#
doesnm
i don't sure advertisement is allowed
#
[tantek]
[Richard_Wildin] is this specifically for indieweb development work?
#
[tantek]
I think in general we do discourage advertisements / job posts, though a one time brief request (i.e. linking to your personal blog post with any longer description) in #indieweb-random is probably ok would be my guess.

what is Spacebar
#

It looks like we don't have a page for "Spacebar" yet. Would you like to create it?_ (Or just say "Spacebar is ____", a sentence describing the term)
#
[tantek]
doesnm, are you or is anyone else here using Spacebar? Would be good to make sure there's some experience with it before recommending it to folks as an alternative
#
[tantek]
also there's a lot more criticism in the /Discord See Also section that could probably use some gardening into the main Criticism section
#
doesnm
[tantek]: i'm used official instance and joined Fermi and Spacebar Staging guilds. Tried to migrate one closed community from Matrix+Telegram but that attempt are failed
#
[tantek]
also there's a question of can Spacebar be a bridged chat peer like Discord and Slack, or is Spacebar a fully open source replacement for Discord (like Mattermost is for Slack)
#
doesnm
it's api compatible open source replacement. So existing bots and bridges should be work fine (someone are used official discord clients for spacebar xD)
#
[tantek]
fascinating
#
[tantek]
maybe worth creating a apge on it, especially since you have some experience with it and can note that
#
[tantek]
a page* fon it
#
doesnm
my page is very dry...
