wish it was on linux :(

thanks for the guide!

you recommend wyse? any negative experiences with it?

I appreciate the candid response (though I’m not from your server).

Here’s hoping you don’t anything annoying come your way.

hey im a noob with music stuff, why would this be preferable to soulseek?

Interesting, yeah this sounds like a good idea. No they don’t care as long as it’s easy to find other people competent enough in the event I’m disposed or something.

Do you have any experience you could share?

Yeah mostly paranoid about getting doxxed and I think it would derail the the conversation. I tend to like to work abstractly to get novel solutions as well.

Could you comment on your own experience with this software and on-boarding users? The technical stuff isn’t always so much of an issue as the interpersonal stuff. It seems like you have a good deal of knowledge!

Have you thought of frendica? I think it’s kinda what you’re looking for but it doesn’t seem too popular. Have you used bumble for friends? I thought bumble was for dating, I’m not sure how that would work for friends.

Ah ok yeah that gets pretty annoying. When people diagnose others I think that’s problematic too. You only know a sliver of what they thought suitable to share, which isn’t necessarily indicative of anything…

I see a Clinical Psychologist, PhD and 2 PostDoc’s. We call our sessions therapy, wouldn’t that be an ok way to refer to something as therapy?

Are you referring to ‘trauma-dumping’ or when people share their negative experiences en masse? When I think therapy speak I think people being supportive, I’m probably misunderstanding, an example would help!

Could anyone comment on how these compare to usenets?

Thanks for the insightful response. I’m gonna spend some time searching for all those terms you mentioned because much of it is stuff I’ve only heard in passing or never heard of at all. I’ll try to find what works well enough for me. Wish me luck!

I read some horror stories about folks who self-hosted for years and how they eventually quit and moved to an established email provider. It didn’t seem like something I wanted to deal with.

Do you think using one of those federated email networks where it’s invite only and between people you know would have any appreciable use cases in conjunction with an established provider? I can think of having a small org use it maybe but not between friends or family.

Had anyone heard of or tried buttercup? Any thoughts?

I was mulling around the idea of using KeePass but it seems to be too inconvenient. The pretty UI and cool name makes me want to try buttercup.
