Clojurians Log v2

the only thing I really miss in zulip is being able to say "good morning". It is OT, but does get the community rolling

it at last shows the lights are on and at least someone is there

I don’t really understand this software. Is it a bulletin board that looks like slack?

#clojure-europe would have been quite desolate without your persistent good-morninging. Now it’s a super nice place to hang out, and my favourite channel here 🙂

@synthomat that's a pretty good description, yup

I mostly use Zulip now, it's far more valuable for getting work done. Using Slack directly has become less valuable to me and find it easier to consume via Zulip. The social interaction, general banter, seems more appropriate for Slack.

> the only thing I really miss in zulip is being able to say “good morning”. It is OT, but does get the community rolling @otfrom given that these days there are 50-80 daily unique visitors at Zulip, maybe it’s just a matter of starting? 😉

I've given it a go. The threaded nature doesn't really make it feel all that natural tho. I do feel that zulip is almost a good replacement for Usenet tho. 😉 (I like zulip for longer form things)

The solution for zulip is to have a "watercooler" in the topic for things like "morning"

You can always add a thread to a message retroactively!

Some streams have topics named ‘general’ for the Slack-experience. Break out to a topic if necessary.
