Discourse is probably the best community and forum software. It allows for self-hosting, a great deal of customization, multifaceted Communication (images, videos, emojis, …) and a layered moderation for different categories and communities.
Since 2020, GEN Europe has deployed its own instance of Discourse. It has been adopted by staff and council and some working groups and projects.
Now we’re also offering Discourse for our member networks and ecovillages.
