Are you using #github for #FOSS ?
Small request: could you use FOSS instead?
Don't make #Microsoft your gatekeeper, use like #forgejo #codeberg or something.

Thanks to @conservancy 's @karen , Denver Gingerich and Bradley Kuhn for the #FOSDEM talk.
@conservancy @karen
And my own thought: if your #FOSS project's #chat is on #Discord , I will not join.
I already know it will get enshittified. I will not give them a phone number, I don't want to get tracked and my data sold as a price of contributing to FOSS.
So yeah, I've been mostly absent from the #bevy #community for that reason.
I hope that changes one day.
@dcz @conservancy @karen I miss developers using IRC
@mikebabcock @dcz @conservancy @karen irc has many problems. One of the main ones is no history
@thibaultmol @mikebabcock @conservancy @karen That can also be seen as a benefit. Face to face conversations have no history, either, which opens them up to the ephemeral. You don't have to worry about being too off-topic, polluting the history, or being told off for not reading the backlog.
@dcz @mikebabcock @conservancy @karen I mean... I don't think comparing face to face with a chat is a fair comparison.
I really like chat history.
- it means that, as a newcomer, you can get a vibe for the room and easily look up past conversations
- If you already did a whole explanation of something, you can easily refer back to it.
@thibaultmol i thought its standard irc netiquette to *wait 10 minutes* so youre sure youre not interrupting a conversation, *or* to know the vibes of a room
