I am keeping an ever watchful eye on social networks on where to spread our glorious Linux gaming news. Mastodon [Official Site, Github] has caught my eye as it's open source and decentralized. Come join us on it.
Our profile: https://mastodon.social/users/gamingonlinux
I don't know if it will be a hit or not, but Twitter has been frustrating me more and more as time goes on. With their constant attempts to interfere with timelines, their annoying adverts and so on. Facebook is even worse with messing with timelines.
For me, Mastodon is different as it's one of the few open social networks that doesn't look terrible (subjective I know), and doesn't mess with timelines. It emulates Tweetdeck (which I actually like using).
So if you're looking for a more open social network, feel free to follow us on it.
I am looking into a way to have our news auto-published to Mastodon using PHP, if anyone could help me devise a way to do it that would be awesome. Feel free to PM me if you're interested in doing that, you can find info on their API on their Wiki.
Also, while we're here, we are also on Telegram [Official Site] (which has such a lovely desktop and mobile client!):
- Telegram news channel
- Linux gaming chat group
- Linux (generic) chat group Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

I'd like to have an open XMPP conference for Gaming On Linux. I'm sure there are some PHP libs for XMPP out there which you can use to automatically post new articles there.

Quoting: liamdaweIs there a way to post content to diaspora from PHP?I don't know. Unfortunately I'm not a web dev. But there's feedDiasp. It might feel a bit clunky feeding posts via RSS to diaspora but at least it AlwaysWorks(TM). :D
