I visited today the forum Fujicommunity.com. It looks promising. Already some of members of this forum have joined. The founder Dirk is from Germany. He says welcome to DPR members and is open to new suggestions. I will join that community.
Yes. A very good Dpreview clone at https://dpreview.communitydummy.com/
You don't have to pay a penny to post photos. You can host your photos any ware including Flicker which includes some photo hosting under the free plan.
Dirk's site has worked out well for DPR L-mount forum members. It was never a big forum here on DPR compared with Fuji or MFT, but it was growing recently due to the release of the new Panasonic S5M2.
And also POTN. (Photography on the net)
and also https://fujicommunity.com . We should be that fair that we list all the Fuji-specific forums in that list, right?
Indeed you are correct about the fact this place doesn't have long. As I mentioned I have joined that site as well as 2 others and made a few comments. A pleasant announcement will occur here in the next 24 hours about the near future.
That's piqued my interest..........
I’ve had none of the display issues you mention (on iOS). It’s a slightly different layout but makes sense once you use it for a day or so, like any new site.
"Racist" is a relative term. I've never heard a concrete definition of it that all agree to. And COVID? I loved it when the left cried "racist" when it was called "The China virus" because that's where it came from and obviously from a lab. I loved pointing out that Chia is not a "Race", it's a country. Had it been called "The Asian virus", that could be called a race statement.Robert even deleted our PM exchanges where I pointed out the worst examples on the racist posts. One of the other mods I contacted about it confirmed that there was a lot of that going on.
It’s funny that the “mah freedumb” crowd often cannot handle dissent.
I’ll pm you the screen name of the worst offender on the racist stuff. It took place on one of the Chinese vs. Japanese Fuji quality threads and involved some offensive remarks about Chinese women.
I pointed out to Robert when reporting that post that if the poster would say those exact words in Chinatown he would get a serious beat down.
On a different thread I argued that condoning that kind of stuff was akin to hanging a big confederate flag in front of your bar. Not a place I would care to patronize. Robert felt is was fine and a freedom of speech issue I gave up.
Robert was fine with it even though Jonathan and another mod clearly saw that the posts were stereotypically racist and misogynist.
The covid thing was pretty amazing - Robert went full on anti government anti Faucci and was promoting hydroxychloroquine heavily with all kinds of sham studies and stories from ultra right wing misinformation sources like The Epoch Times, Newsmax and more.
Ironically at that time he changed his signature to something along the lines of “seeker of truth”.
I just took a look at my pm inbox and all of my pms with the other mods have been deleted too. Crazy.
I wouldn’t be surprised if the new owners expunged much of the worst stuff I doubt VS would want to be a site seen as friendly to that virulent promotion of misinformation.
Guys, let's give it a rest, please. This discussion is very OT and frankly marginal at best."Racist" is a relative term. I've never heard a concrete definition of it that all agree to. And COVID?
