Thanks for the tips everyone! I'm trying to put together a collaborative workspace for an amorphous group of people of varying degrees of tech experience. Riot.im seems really promising and I think we're going to try and migrate from Slack over to it when the community features are more stable there.

Libre opensource version of Slack?

via lurking a discussion on https://drowned.world/chat (a new/improved reboot of dump.fm, still in beta and invite only right now)

lots of youtube videos (it was just 1 year old then!), ytmnd (i forgot about that!), dead links, and mentions of vvork.com and rss feeds

literally tfw you don't know exactly where you're going, but you have a small idea of what it will be like

Oops, an amendment to last nights post:
the article they read was from WIRED's March 1997 issue:
"Push! Kiss your browser goodbye: The radical future of media beyond the Web"
https://www.wired.com/1997/03/ff-push/

that other 1997 article is pretty interesting today too though: https://www.wired.com/1997/07/longboom/

Olia Lialina live in Berlin tonight reading an excerpt from 2017's Bear With Me (A play for two webmasters starring Kevin Bewersdorf) at the launch of Asymmetrical Response, with Cory Archangel and others reading excerpts from WIRED magazine's epicly optimistic 1997 article 'The Long Boom: A History of the Future, 1980 - 2020'.
