  • This is like saying someone uploaded malware to Github, therefore Open Source Software is insecure.

    It would be like that if someone had put made-up information on a talk page or their user page. Information in the main namespace is supposed to be patrolled and checked for references, which is the point of the article. Your analogy is dishonest.

    [edit: double-posted somehow, sorry]




  • I think it would benefit from specific communities or content creators adopting it. As long as it’s only general topics (technology, Linux, …) it has basically the same info as Reddit/Hackernews/… but less up to date and less commented. It is useless if you already use those other platforms and probably can’t get ahead this way.

    I could see Godot/Blender/… adopt it though. Blender already uses PeerTube. That would help kickstart this place.

    The software is great but the people aren’t there.



  • Link to where “WebDev working standards” say URLs should be short? SEO benefits from more info in URL, and so does web browser history/bookmark search. Many platforms such as Reddit and Medium put the title (or part of it) in the URL.

    Presenting your opinions as fact and quoting “standards and teaching” when asked does not advance the debate.









  • I think it’s safe to say that GitHub went above and beyond what is required. They prevented people from getting their own data before blocking them permanently from the site, which they did without warning, and apparently even targeted people who weren’t in those countries at all but merely had connected from one in the past. They could definitely do better.
