Morning! I'm visiting the cows by Ale's Rocks, at the (almost) southernest tip of Sweden.

This is my son sitting at the very southernest tip of Sweden. (Smygehuk)

mpenet15:07:57

I was there a few weeks ago 😸

mpenet15:07:26

It was packed that day

pez15:07:50

A bit unstable weather today. Maybe people chose other sites to visit. Not packed at all. The weather treated us well.

mpenet19:07:35

It was a bit of a gamble today with the weather, good for you :)

sad news to report - discord now has threads. FWIW

complicates the UX IMHO anyway

raymcdermott19:07:45

others feel differently I am sure

reefersleep21:07:07

I’m on the fence re: threads. I really liked the simplicity of IRC back in the day; stuff can’t be edited once sent, you have channels and DMs, and that’s that. Slack felt like a bloated IRC when I tried it first. I use threads a lot now, though, and I kind of like it, I think, even if the UI for it could be better.

seancorfield21:07:37

I'm in some Slacks that pretty much mandate the use of threads for answers and it's really nice to be able to see each conversation separately and not have to deal with the noise of conversations I don't care about. It's why I like Zulip a lot.

reefersleep18:07:16

There was a Clojure project which had ad hoc discussions (with a #hashtag denouncing the topic) as its central selling point. Sadly, the UI kind of sucked, and therefore, it didn’t really seem to work as I had hoped, but I was crushing on the idea.

reefersleep18:07:56

I think it didn’t actually have channels, only topics. I guess you could do the same with channels in e.g. Slack, though, but I think the intent was to make it more lightweight than channels.

reefersleep18:07:03

I’ve certainly used channels in that way, and it was not as light as I’d hoped. Still kind of worked. (For e.g. gathering people around a particular problem that needed investigating in a small forum)

seancorfield19:07:10

Yeah, I remember that. https://www.braidchat.com/ right? It's improved dramatically since those early days.
