@sz_duras In #LTI, The Language of the Third Reich, Victor #Klemperer shows how everyday language, official #discourse, and small habits of #thought insidiously transform the perception of #reality. #Fascism, according to him, does not impose itself solely through #violence or #terror, but through the slow permeation of minds, the trivialization of #ideology in #language, and the internalization of new norms, until the #exception becomes the #rule.
@nextcloud Yes, I received many good answers on from the #Nextcloud #community, and many more #opensource communities.
Most use the excellent #discourse software for their forums. Highly recommended!

On a donc regardé des alternatives aux forums/ML/newsgroup/etc.
@geobabbler nous a fait découvrir #Zulip, et perso je suis complètement fan : ça impose de créer un nouveau sujet pour démarrer une discussion, comme sur un forum/ML/newsgroup, tout en gardant le côté temps réel. Pour du smalltalk c’est nul, mais c’est le job de Discord/Matrix/XMPP ça.
Sinon il y a #Discourse, si on veut une alternative plus « lente ».

Anyone doing research on digital religion?
I've just finished writing a draft on religious influencers and am looking for suitable journals.
My research method combines computational statistical tools and discourse analysis.

@Discourse is a great software for community collaboration and forum discussion. Where it shines is the completeness of the feature set it offers to mods and admins.
A bunch of great new features just announced in the latest beta.
Among others the #Akismet external service is no longer used in favor of #Discourse #AI #spam detection.

Very nice. Thanks a lot @angusmcleod for your hard work on the #ActivityPub #Discourse plugin!
Discourse communities are online spaces that facilitate open collaboration and communication.

It would be great if the #ActivityPub #Discourse plugin supported moving topics to remote forums it federates with.
I wanted to transfer some topics with a bunch of posts to another discourse installation, but the procedure is quite involved. Not a simple export/import via the UI, unless I overlooked something.

Exit, stage left: X, formerly Twitter.

"Universities and research institutions leave Platform X (formerly Twitter): United for diversity, freedom and science
"Over 60 German-speaking universities and research institutions have decided to take a stand and collectively announce their decision to cease activities on Platform X (formerly Twitter). This withdrawal comes in response to the platform's current direction, which is incompatible with the core values of the participating institutions: openness to the world, scientific integrity, transparency, and democratic discourse. …"
"Leeds becomes first Russell Group university to quit X … Elon Musk’s social media site “no longer aligns with our university values” …"
"University of Brighton, University of Sussex, and other like-minded institutions should – now – be at the UK forefront of what began in Germany. … Now. Do the right thing. Please."
Discussing privacy and cybersecurity on Reddit and Twitter? That doesn't make too much sense to us.
Privacy Guides is doing something different! Join our forum to discuss the news, chat about tech, and get advice from the internet's largest community of personal privacy advocates and experts.
Internet forums are disappearing because now everything is Reddit and Discord. And that's worrying.

You know how the #Discourse forum software hijacks your Ctrl+F and opens this dialog in the corner?
I was always annoyed by that! But today, I learned that you can press Ctrl+F twice, and it will go back to your browser's search!
Note, however, that not all posts of that thread might be loaded until you've scrolled to them, so in hindsight, I understand why they defaulted to this behavior…
Hello Fediverse! Feels good to be back! With this account I hope to make my small contributions in #romance #horrorliterature research and the #discourse around #horror, #fear, the #uncanny and #affect in general, but also to share some thoughts on the current political and philosophical discourse concerning #affecttheory #psychoanalysis #existentialism and #cosmotechnics
Writing primarily in ENG and GER but also in RU, IT, PT, ESP and maybe even FR!
