Codidact started as an attempt to make something better/different than SE. When it was started, pretty much everyone involved shared a consensus about what it should not be: Not run by a private...
At what extent can we block "crawlers" and the like from stealing site content? What is technically possible? We can block at least the OpenAI crawler and the Google-Extended crawler (for Gemi...
Subtle difference, big change The difference between what we have now (a group of distinct communities) and what you propose (a single community with filters) seems subtle, but I believe the long ...
We don't allow these on our communities. They're an abuse of the system, and they'll be removed once someone with the appropriate tool access notices them. I generally trawl all the new user pages...
A somewhat well-known phenomenon from SE is "spam accounts" - that is a user profile containing self-promotional material which just sits there - the user isn't making any posts. Supposedly a paras...
preference between these two approaches? There are actually three approaches to consider, your two alternative proposals and leaving it alone. I don't have any preference between leaving it alone...
The best place to raise concerns about any specific actions -- whether by mods or by the community -- is the per-community Meta category. Differences of opinion about closing questions might reall...
Please flag any individual post/comment that seems problematic. A flag doesn't mean "this is objectively delete-worthy" but rather "hey mods, please take a look at this". You can always use a cus...
There is a box in the right hand panel of most Codidact pages showing information related to Codidact: The first paragraph says: This community is part of the Codidact network. We have other ...
Consider the following screenshot from the middle of a longer comment thread: So which text was written by Monica Cellio, the one above or the one below the attribution line? There is no visual ...
In the diff for tags (as seen in a suggested edit, or in the edit history), the tags before editing are shown on the left, and the tags after editing are shown on the right. However, unlike the tex...
I'm going to categorize "improvements" into two main categories: "Social" and "Technical". On Social changes I'm categorizing Social changes as what you've termed "Site Concept" in the question. ...
I'm sorry you had a poor experience with the Incubator system. The Incubator is a bit of an experiment; as we continue to use it, we'll come across areas for improvement and ways to oil squeaky hin...
This is a link to my user page. The URL is: https://meta.codidact.com/users/53890 This is a link to your user page. The URL is: https://meta.codidact.com/users/me Note that the URL ends wit...
The general policy on spam accounts with advertisements stored in their user profile (and no account activity) was already discussed here. I´m looking at an account whose current advertisement met...
I agree that's pretty unclear in threads that are longer than fit in the view. Thanks for raising this. I don't know what's possible with the current design framework (I'm not very good at front-...
Thank you very much for this feedback. Seeing our platform through the eyes of a newcomer is very valuable, and there's a limited time window to capture those impressions. I'm going to comment on...
We had this discussion over at Software Development: Should we allow answers generated by ChatGPT? The general consensus so far seem to be that such answers shouldn't be allowed. Mostly because th...
When you click on "Flag" under a post, you get a dropdown asking "Why does this post require moderator attention?" One of the options is needs author's attention This question is off-topic ...
I don't believe this is something that we're considering for the general userbase, for several reasons. Our mission The mission of the Codidact Network is to provide a space for communities to sh...
It seems almost taken for granted on every Codidact site - even Languages & Linguistics - that questions and answers are supposed to be written in English, although I can't find any official po...
Done. I've also fixed several typos while I was at it, as well as some general rewording for clarity. I've also added a section to that doc about why some users may earn the "Participate Everywher...
It is generally considered good practice to try and do your own research to find the answer to a question before you post it. There are some questions where the asker is just not capable of findin...
Codidact posts support Markdown tables. For example, the following raw text: Column 1 | Column 2 -------- | -------- Data A | Data B Data C | Data D renders as: Column 1 Column ...
