@silverpill@mitra.social when discussed with Nutomic about this, I made the case that 1b12 is excellent for synchronization. 7888 (and 171b, etc.) are good for backfill, in cases where there is no 1b12 implementation available.

@douginamug@mastodon.xyz thank you for the kind words! I wasn't sure how technical I should get, but the crowd was enthusiastic and followed along amazingly well considering the late hour. I enjoy talking about the developer experience on the open social web, and I'd love to continue to do so.

@jiejie@mastodon.social good question! The answer ultimately lies in how you want to communicate with your audience. Each option is different and it's hard for you to know which software is the best fit. That's why even when I say NodeBB sits somewhere in between microblogs and blogs, NodeBB might not be the right solution, yeah? What kind of site do you want to build, how in depth do you want to go, etc.?

There's nothing of value between where @dansup@mastodon.social lives and I live I jest, but while I am throwing out ideas I have a lead on a space in Toronto that could easily hold 200 standing room. Depends how big you want to think. @reiver@mastodon.social did we already discuss that you were from Canada? In all that went on it might've just slipped my mind. @liaizon@social.wake.st @andypiper@macaw.social @evan@cosocial.ca

@j12t@j12t.social hey, there you are asking questions!

@evan@cosocial.ca I love how much happens around FOSDEM! The conference is literally two days and so many people are going 2-3 days in advance wow.

@thisismissem@hachyderm.io I'm so sorry to hear that. Feel better soon! You will be missed at FOSDEM
