<![CDATA[Today, we're introducing three things.]]>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.

And no, we checked the calendar. We know. This is not an April Fools' joke.

We're just really bad at timing.

Good for phones. Horrible for real devices.

But wait: I could participate there with my usual Mastodon account?

I wish we could all regularly refer to forums as a kind of social networking and the fedi as social media. both needed but the differences matter.

Here to watch and learn as I recently stumbled back into FreeBSD (and also OpenBSD). Re-discovering the joy of tinkering and homelabbing with new things.
