Announcing the BSD Cafe Billboard

MacBook Pro, white ceramic mug,and black smartphone on table

Today, we’re introducing three things.

The first one is a forum. A real forum – with categories, threads, and actual conversations that don’t disappear in a timeline after six minutes.

The second is a Fediverse platform. Fully federated, ActivityPub-native. Your posts go out, the world’s posts come in. No walled gardens, no algorithms, no tricks.

The third is a Bar. A place to sit down, talk to strangers who happen to care about the same weird things you do, and stay as long as you want.

A forum. A Fediverse platform. A bar.

Are you getting it?
These are not three separate things. This is one thing.

And we’re calling it Billboard.

@stefano Oh, that is so cool! Really been missing proper forums for a while now. 🙂 Out of curiosity, what kind of software are you using for the board? Discourse, Flarum or something entirely different?

@stefano hurrah!

Whilst dragging a new tab group into position (alphabetical order), I noticed a forgotten 'BSD' group amongst my archives.

I wonder what's in it …

@stefano a test area would be good (and then move people's test posts away from other areas).

Maybe nested in, or alongside, <https://billboard.bsd.cafe/category/4/comments-feedback>

Thanks
