aaronpk oh
#
aaronpk Loqi: new server or old server?
#
Loqi I'm pretty sure new server
#
aaronpk wrong
#
aaronpk gives Loqi a new server
#
Loqi Thanks, aaronpk!
#
GWG I'd like to hear more of Loqi's opinion

[tantek] Should we encourage more random tech talk to go to #indieweb-random instead of #indieweb-cafe ?
#
[tantek] Like we encouraged random AI talk to go to #indieweb-random for example
#
[capjamesg] Yes, please.
#
aaronpk i don't even know how i would describe what is on topic for cafe
#
thamara_k My understanding was that cafe was for light-hearted chatter/general catchup
#
aaronpk the real solution here is threaded discussions, since that lets a conversation take a deep dive without distracting the rest of the room. but sadly IRC does not support threads and even once it does the chances of being able to bridge threads well across the platforms is slim
#
[tantek] aaronpk, cafes tend to be more, cozy, and personal
#
[tantek] Random tech chatter is none of the above
#
aaronpk i've definitely gone into deep tech chatter in real life cafes
#
[tantek] Also people seem to not realize that they're almost certainly rehashing discussions that others have had. No one is citing anything for their "points", and an unarchived channel means another crew of new folks will rehash the same topic in a year or two with nearly nothing new
#
[tantek] I should say nearly no one
#
[tantek] There were a few URLs shared for a few points
#
[tantek] aaronpk, at least with #indieweb-random there's frankly more of a framing of expectation that it could be screenfuls of random chatter and to just scroll or mark all as read
#
[tantek] Still not good for not repeating the same convos over and over
#
[tantek] Previously (before random & cafe) we would solve this by asking people what they did on their personal site(s) to focus the conversation
