<p>Hello,</p>
<p>You're right, there is some lack of visibility relative to hacker's world, their meetings, discussions & debates, subculture.</p>
<p>Till recently, it seemed to me that statusnet, just before it switched to pumpio, was the right tool to stay connected with hacker's news and culture.
At that time i could follow some hackers groups (Chaos Computer Club ...) and projects (Tor, freedombox ...), and identica/Statusnet was good to me for discovering and digging into hackers news. The groups under statusnet were like 'virtual communities', and the switch to pumpio 'killed' them, since pumpio <em>simply</em> removed the support of the group functionality ...</p>
<p>So it's more difficult for me now to stay connected with hackers news, and i'm interested with your investigation, and will follow you on your blog.</p>
<p>I feel that microblogging is better than RSS because it offers the ability not only to read, but to write (to comment, to review, to have a feed-back, to be connected with people),
and it give the possibility to join 'virtual communities'.</p>

PS : if i don't follow hacker news anymore on identica/statusnet, i now follow FSFE news :) </p>
