 @piegames:matrix.org | Twitter has increasingly become enshittified, with login walls everywhere and even killing Nitter as the last workaround. Do we still want to keep providing value to that network by posting content on it? | 12:31:16 |
 avocadoom | I mean, imo. it's no extra effort atm. but since IdaBzo is responsible, I tag her :D | 12:33:13 |
 garbas | In reply to @piegames:matrix.orgyes we will still keep pushing updated to as many platforms as we can. including twitter. | 15:41:13 |
| garbas | In reply to @piegames:matrix.org* yes we will still keep pushing social updates to as many platforms as we can. including twitter. | 15:42:40 |

 Jonas Chevalier | I migrated all our passwords to vault.nixos.org, and sent you all invites. I'll be decomissioning the old instance immediately to reduce our costs, hope that's alright. | 13:07:24 |
| Jonas Chevalier | btw, I can't help but notice the 👎️ on garba's reply. Please don't do that. It doesn't help change people's opinions and generally creates an atmosphere where people drive-by up/down vote and is demoralizing to the people actually doing the things. We can disagree while still being respectful to each other. | 13:52:09 |
| @piegames:matrix.org | Jonas Chevalier while I understand your point, I'd like to point out that this is not about having a debate or changing people's minds. Sometimes it's just about agreeing to disagree | 14:07:35 |
| Jonas Chevalier | It's fine to disagree. But what does it add to the conversation? If you treat it as a datapoint, it's not actionable. All it does is create this looming sense that a few people disagreed. It doesn't tell us how informed those people are and how they are putting this decision in context with the number of followers that would be lost, for example. | 14:27:13 |
| Jonas Chevalier | maybe I'm just grumpy :p | 15:56:32 |
 raitobezarius | What's the alternative to express disagreement? Pile on "noes"? Send PRs to remove Twitter involvement and do the consensus over there? I feel like those reactions are just the easiest way to express minor disagreements with no further action | 16:01:34 |
 @idabzo:matrix.org | but to clarify: should I perform as usual and post all the messages on LinkedIn, Mastodon, and Twitter as well? It's just a disagreement, not a comment to proceed? | 16:56:49 |
 Fritz Otlinghaus | I actually appreciate Jonas message, a thumbs down is not something parsed easily, when catching up with a room and not really helpful for the person trying to get a response. Personally I would welcome disagreement with a reason a lot more than plain disagreement. From a marketing perspective I do still see value in posting to twitter so I would argue for keep thing like they are right now, if it's not a lot of time investment. | 17:15:34 |
| avocadoom | In reply to @fritz.otlinghaus:helsinki-systems.deRegarding time investment, we use a social media management tool, afaik posting to Twitter is just toggling the "post to Twitter" switch. | 17:46:15 |
| @idabzo:matrix.org | In reply to @avocadoom:avocadoom.deyes, exactly, I'm even using the same graphic design across all the channels | 18:16:02 |
 djacu | In reply to @raitobezarius:matrix.org I would say don't use alternatives. I agree with the general sentiment that negative emojis like 👎️ do not help the atmosphere, creates friction between us, and can be confusing. If you disagree, say so. Say why. Be pointed. Be direct. | 19:23:06 |
| raitobezarius | the disagreement has been said though ^ | 19:23:43 |

| djacu | Then just leave it at that. | 03:00:33 |

| garbas | yes, please proceed as usual. Thank you! | 07:43:53 |
| garbas | I've logged in to the vault.nixos.org. Do we have access to previous passwords? I don't think I see them. | 07:47:02 |
| garbas | But if it is hard to migrate don't bother. I'll recreate those passowrds. maybe a good time to rotate them. | 07:48:00 |

| aciceri | Hey! We had a one-day meetup in Milan last week (a big success) and we are already organizing another one. For reference this was the one we organized. Instead in a few weeks there will be an evening event consisting of two talks about two real Nix use cases (here our meetup). Would it be possible being shared on socials? Who should I ask in this case? Can I simply leave links here in the room? Thank you all 😀 | 11:11:59 |
| @idabzo:matrix.org | Hey, I'm glad the first meetup was a success and that you're planning another one. I'm currently responsible for NixOS social media channels, and I didn't announce the first meetup. The reason is simple: I didn't find it here: https://discourse.nixos.org/c/events/, which is my primary source of information! :D could you create a post in this category? then I will be able to schedule posts on social media | 12:55:39 |

| aciceri | IdaBzo: nice to meet you! Anyway we actually added the event about 1 month before, do you need more notice? We also recently added the new one, here the link. | 16:17:03 |
 tomberek | For social scheduling: https://discourse.nixos.org/t/april-23-maryland-dc-virginia-nix-users-group/42723 (yep, that's me!) | 17:05:18 |

| @idabzo:matrix.org | Oh, sorry, I wasn't up to date with our new events' etiquette. I've added them to the social media planner; the messages will go out on Monday. Thanks for your help! | 09:31:18 |
