I’ve been enjoying a few Slack communities lately, and was about to offer to set up a Slack for the lines community, but paused as I considered various problems public communities have been having with the free level of Slack.
That’s when I ran across Gitter, which seems like a more appropriate solution for an open source community anyway.
Having spent some time recently dipping my toes into discord communities (turns out some creators I support on Patreon have discords!) I would love to see a llllllll discord (or otherwise) - especially in these times where some of us feel more isolated, a more ‘live’ / in-the-moment aspect to this community would be very welcome.
The lines community stream server seems to be working fine for me.
The other one doesn’t work indeed.
eidt: It’s a bit sad that we have to rely on all these datamining, corporate-owned platforms, which always seem to me in stark contrast with the monome ethos and generally with the sensibilities of this community.
This was discussed somewhat elsewhere, but I would love to see a Monome/Lines Matrix room or community. It’s not perfect, especially since most of the clients available at the moment don’t provide a seamless experience for attaching audio files, but I use it a lot without much trouble.
Could setting up a mattermost work/soften that aspect? Or is it a bit cumbersome? I know it lacks the audio discussion features of Discord but I don’t think we use those that much in the Live Community discord anyway.
So minimalist!
