How to debate about phlog entries? (self.gopher)

submitted 2 years ago by wgs to c/gopher

4 comments fedilink hide all child comments

My main frustration with the phlogosphere is that it's not trivial to comment or discuss a phlog entry by other means that the web (which we all despise, right?)

There are solutions of course, but I find them inconvenient:

emails
instant messaging (IRC/matrix/...)
/7/ item trick
???

What's your take on that ?

I've used the "Re:" method but it's not discoverable by external readers or even the original author, so you gotta send an email to notify them. I do agree that it greatly increase the quality of replies though, which is nice.

I've never used Usenet, it's a cool idea indeed, I'll look into it.

For example the talking-about-my-generation thread, where phloggers edited in bibliographies of known/noticed other response phlog articles across both the gopher and geminispace.
