I never used reddit. I had seen it in search results (some reddit-blackout research said most of the value of Alphabet Corp search was just indexing reddit discussions). Happily! reddit has gone the way of the birdsite. And there is a freedom-respecting federating web forum software named lemmy. Our SDF is providing an instance of it. SDF.org has a long (longer than I've been alive) history and explicitly facilitates blind users, whom Reddit Corporation have explicitly attacked for being unprofitable. Sometimes it would be nice to have short, semi-permanent, fast-paced discussions with too many people to keep up with the phlogs of, on the topic of one of the phlogs. Given widespread success and de facto standard of the lemmy forum model, I submit that we should use lemmy as a de facto comment section on everyone's phlog. https://lemmy.sdf.org/c/gopher I created it; my thinking is every thread represents one significant gopher directory (or gopher-like directory-like) having 1. the gopher address like gopher://gopher.club/1/users/screwtape 2. a corresponding lemmy address (well, if you're already there) 3. a web proxy link from floodgap or tildeverse or your own personal one. Then any number of response trees, which sorted in time-reversed order probably correspond to a time-reversed order phlog. This lets us have many-person short, semi-permanent discussions attached to a given gopherhole. Since I made the lemmy, my rule is that I will defer to and facilitate the author of the gopherhole on all of their decisions about a thread (such as not having a thread), though in general threads can be started by non-authors. Ancillarily to this, I believe reddit had a lisp community that is seeking a new home. Good job on them to break the proprietary subscription habit. @SDF made this one already, but it needs some life: https://lemmy.sdf.org/c/lisp PS: Lemmy's web interface is well-browsable by links2, but javascript is not supported by it.
