Grave consequences? Worst case the user loses some imaginary internet points, creates a new account and can subscribe their previous posts to get notifications about new comments/answers. Not much harm done, so I wouldn't call the consequences grave. (more) |

TopAnswers has a similar mechanism. Instead of storing PI, the user gets a pin on sign-up. This works reasonable well. Most users seem perfectly capable to store their pin. (more) |

While sorting by creation date (?) might not be the most useful sorting, it is at least consistent across the site, e.g. the community switcher at the top right has the exact same order. It would be very inconvenient having to learn a new layout without real gain. Also what happens for users with sm... (more) |

> Quoting content, and providing necessary attribution, is of course not something I’d ban.
How will you differentiate if a user mentions somebody to provide attribution or for other reasons?
I very much agree that notifying specific users in posts is not a good idea, but mentioning is imho c... (more) |

Being able to mention (not pinging) users is absolute necessary in questions and answers. Everything else would make it unnecessarily difficult to comply with CC-by licenses of many posts all around the internet. Being able to mention user names also helps to differentiate between different approache... (more) |

Not being able to use `@username` at all will make it very unnecessarily complicate to comply with the CC-by license of man code examples all around the internet. (more) |

Codidact already has a tag hierarchy with parent tags and child tags. For example the `macOS` tag on powerusers is a parent tag for `macOS14` etc. (more) |

@#65260 "i dont and will never capitalize a random word becuase its norm, its dumb." -> using standard English makes it much easier for non-fluent speakers to understand you. In particular leaving out apostrophes is quite confusing. A fluent speaker might just accept it as some quirk of yours and kee... (more) |

@qwr They both do more. They are not just simple copies of SO/SE, they both provide improved approaches to Q&A sites. (more) |

@#8046 I very much hope that you are right and this won't be a problem in the incubator! I'm looking forward to a couple of more topics being given a chance to form a community! (more) |

One would assume that this is far fetched, but take for example this answer https://meta.codidact.com/posts/279809/280164#answer-280164 At least 5 of the 6 users who made their interests known are very likely the same user (based on their cross-posts under the same account on reddit and SE) I don't u...

yes, it focusses on both - that's the problem. It should focus on the proposal. (more) |

It would be nice if your proposal could focus on the community you'd like to propose and not your back story somewhere else. (more) |

Please don't (or at least make it optional)! It is really a pain to use SO on a small laptop screen, because the top bar takes away valuable screen estate, and given the voting on https://meta.stackexchange.com/q/368973/237989 I'm certainly not the only one who dislikes fixed top bars.

Asking to explain a specific term is not necessarily a sign of lacking expertise. Many (most?) users are not native speakers, they simply might know the stuff under a different name -- that's even more true if the term is just a brand name. (more) |

I don't yet fully understand under which criteria I should get a notifications for comments, but there are at least two comments by @MonicaCellio for which I would have expected a notification but did not get one: https://powerusers.codidact.com/comments/thread/4408#comment-13433 and https://powerus...
