I’ve just set up a forum for up and coming bagpipe makers (not the loud Scottish kind).

It’s been a real breath of fresh air seeing a community coalesce without the feeling of predators on the horizon (eg a hosting provider with misaligned incentives or astroturfers).

I don’t do social media (beyond HN) much at all these days but I’m enjoying seeing it slowly take off.

Using hosted Discourse. I’m glad there’s still a market for it.
