@nestort xD its alright.

@humanetech

@nestort that's actually the discussion I am referring to and saying it can go even further than that. :) as many of those examples are still heavily referencing the original interconnected pentagon form

@humanetech
@nestort
here is a question: does it have to be a pentagon? can it be more of a constellation? after all part of the power of fediverse is its relative weak connectivity that allows communities to appear rather than forcing everyone increasingly into one large pool. :)

that happens on org to individual level yes, but as I said if the tool company uses is not easy, and there is an easy option that people can use individuals will gravitate. as I said thats how google calendar got where it is. there were other calendar tools /integration tools organizations were using when it showed up.
@cstanhope

@cstanhope
I have also seen people move from existing org tools to other unofficial ones due to ux adventage. Also ux is a factor on smaller groups and companies that might not have a huge budget (money or time) to decipher a tool that is hard to understand and use. :) tldr I don't disagree with what you are saying exactly. would love to have a larger conversation on this at some point.

@cstanhope
first of all sorry for not immediately answering this. its been that type of week. What I said there is also a condensation of a lot longer thoughts and experiences (observing and beinvin dialogue) with organizations about what stops groups to move. For smaller organizations or movements just starting usually the use of the tool begins with the free tier. So yes ease of starting to use and later availability of support is important but [cont]

@cstanhope
yes and no. ease of use and ease of support are part of the factors as to why a software is chosen.

if something is easy to use than the clunky alternatives AND trivial to access (e.g. servers are readily available and reliable) people will use it so much that companies will adapt. that is what happened with google docs and calendar...

@polymerwitch
okay that is creepy

@paperdigits I am using mastodon, which works very well when installed via yunohost. just not sure what is accumulating data so fast. even with statuses from 7 days I have like 30GB of data?

that being said still recommend it if you can afford the vps, or have an old laptop etc. I know some people also use pleroma though

sorry about vanishing for 12 hours, it looks like my instance ran out of space. :)

@crash
honestly I prefer sponsored content to adverts for obvious reason but yes it makes linking stuff for teaching tricky.

@darktable I would be a bit sad to see it go if the team decides that route but would be perfectly happy by it being hidden by default, or it being an advanced feature of chosing to use one or another on a drop down per instance of a module etc (even I have yet to use input and output masks together. its usually the one or the other xD)

I can tell from observing my students that it is probably more confusion for most users than actual help.
