+1 here.
I'm an admin for a lot of groups. Those groups are run on Yahoo, Google, as well as some that are run on private mailman machines. The question keeps coming up... what is the alternative?
Run your own servers, control your own infrastructure. There are ways to do it. Next on my "ToTest" list is this, for instance: https://github.com/sovereign/sovereign
Well, I understand the need for more "social" (for want of better word) communication platform than e-mail. For me, this is Twister: http://twister.net.co/
This looks very interesting. Thank you, i will have to look into it.
But, back to the question: How/where can someone run a simple (ignoring the sign-up required by Yahoo/Google/etc.), public, free (both ways, because paying would require identification) forum, allowing for anonymous posts (but not allowing it to be overrun by trolls), that has a simple searchable (and findable - as in searched by Google, Yahoo, etc.) archive?
The question is not price; the question is whether you are aware that you're always paying in hard cash or private data. If you value your data you will find the cash.
You still have to trust a privately run forum. Trust, as in, will it be censored, altered, still there after the volunteer gets tired of it, etc.?
Run your own forum, or use something like Twister -- censorship doesn't really seem possible there.
In other words, if you want a private discussion group about Privacy, then yes, keep it small and secret... somehow. But if you want a public discussion, what are the alternatives to Google/Yahoo/etc.?
Get more people off of Google/Yahoo/etc. There's also The Federation: http://the-federation.info/ You can even set up more pods/servers. -- Pozdrawiam, Michał "rysiek" Woźniak Zmieniam klucz GPG :: http://rys.io/pl/147 GPG Key Transition :: http://rys.io/en/147
