There's a new version of the FOSS forum software #Flarum out, and I was going to toot about how it seems like a great alternative for people who want to start a new community of some sort…
Then I took a look at their website and noticed a lot of LLM illustrations, and I was like no, wtf!
So I searched for Flarum AI, to see if anyone was giving them pushback on this…
And what I found instead was a seemingly official plugin to create fully AI forum users in Flarum!
What the actual fuck!?

@luceos Hi Daniël, I don't want to sound annoying but.... could you pay some independent artist to design a couple of logo's and some images for the #Flarum site.....
The fact the home page is full of ai logo's and images is .... really frustrating to see honestly.

@luceos Hej Daniël! Do you have updates on the #flarum / ActivityPub connection?

The evaluation & local setup went smooth! I was able to integrate #Flarum (PHP based lightweight discussion forum) with @galette as #OAuth provider and achieve #SingleSignOn
Lovely! The lack of such a solution has been holding me back for sometime. Not anymore!

@thibaultamartin @kagihq regarding that last line I wrote:
I have seen various feature request/bug forums like this that end up being a cluttered mess because the people behind it were not doing enough moderation and curation or whatever you want to call it.
How many times something gets posted on their #Flarum, it gets the appropriate labels within 24 hours usually and they actively keep track of stuff and mark things as done when they're indeed done

@thibaultamartin I have been using #Flarum via @kagihq 's feedback website:
Https://kagifeedback.org
I really love it, it has its problems (as an enduser) which I can list up in a second. But overall I'm really happy as a user of it.
Do keep in mind that they have made various modifications to it, although I don't know which ones.
The thing that's really important about forums like this, def how kagi uses it: you need to be on top of it. Labeling, renaming, merging dupes, closing

Do I know people who rely on #Flarum for their community? I'm interested in feedback in terms of performance, moderation, and mailing-list-like features.

Last week I partially deprecated the Discord server for my YouTube channel and refurbished the old forums.
Reception has been shy but positive by some viewers. I still have to replace the descriptions and pinned comments for hundreds of videos to swap the links.
We're still powered by #Flarum. That thing just rocks and it is more lightweight than Discourse while feeling safer than the typical phpBB / SMF forum.
