You cite a single incidence of a request that was downvoted (and maybe not friendly enough commented on) as evidence for "in no way better in terms of ideas to test out new things". I think this conclusion is not yet supported by the data. Sure, it could be true, but a single instance doesn't show an... (more) |

A: Suggested edit hidden from mods and admins for deleted posts I think that deleted posts should not get edits suggested to because deletion implies that the post is unrecoverable. The software should not allow to suggest such an edit or in the unfortunate (but rather rare) event that a post gets deleted after a suggested edit has started but before it has finis... (more) |

The Wilson score is not linear, so one would need to know the actual scores of the questions and if they change later, also the change in Wilson score would change (or not)? It depends if the order of the votes on a post matter (they don't for the Wilson score). I would just display the up/downvotes ... (more) |

A: Misplaced user card below answer The user name in the edited section is too long. See another answer for another example. Protecting HTML elements against overflow by very long user names is a recurring topic and potentially happens in many other places (the users list, below answers, ...). One way is to make user names break lin... (more) |

I like this design a bit more than others in this [answer](https://meta.codidact.com/posts/292613/292614#answer-292614) because it is more compact, which is better for the overview, but also makes clear to which comment each attribution belongs to. (more) |

The number of votes is very low, so there is a high statistical uncertainty, but there was no answer that specifically said that it would be interested in chat but doesn't like Discord. The conclusion would be that probably Discord is a good choice for chat and no replacement is needed currently. (more) |

A: Sorting answers without a page reload From a comment "You haven't explained why that's supposed to be bad." I agree that feature requests should motivate a bit why they are posted because that information is needed to judge the requests anyway. In this case the advantage would probably be a little more convenience by being faster and ... (more) |

You ask would, but I'm not sure actually if it would be useful. Maybe you can think of something. Why should I care then an answer was first created? (more) |

A: Is the Codidact community the same as Stack Overflow? Summary: It's different, but maybe not that different and whether it's better or worse - only the future will be able to tell. For information about Codidact see the help center and the Codidact blog category. The differences are mostly in the organizational structure (open source software, a c... (more) |

Looks like the bus factors are somewhere between two and three but with a plan to increase them in the future. I really like this idea of a comprehensive operations manual for the foundation. Whether it be system or domain administration skills, the essential information can probably get written down... (more) |

It's a fixed phrase. The literal meaning is if something bad happens to someone (like been run over by a bus) what is the maximal number of people that this can happen to so that even in the worst case the organization still functions, i.e. onto how many shoulders is important knowledge distributed. ...

| Question | — |
What are the bus factors of Codidact? The purpose of this post is to draw attention to possibly low bus factors and to maybe lead to a more failsafe organization structure by just asking for information. What are the bus factors for the various parts of Codidact? The bus factor quantifies how much the operation of an organization i... (more) |

A: Allow posting without logging in at least in some communities Allowing anonymous posting because one is too lazy to sign in or doesn't want to be kept signed in (as is the case here) when already signed up is not a good idea in my opinion, because all the downsides mentioned in other answers (higher risk of spam) apply without many upsides. One can try though t... (more) |

@#36363 Well then you make some things more difficult for you. But this doesn't have to be the case for others. An implementation would then primarily be a benefit for similar people. Maybe not the highest priority. (more) |

Convenience or the absence of it is a problem. I'm lazy and I want to achieve X with less effort but cannot - can be seen as a perfect problem formulation. Maybe that was a misunderstanding here. (more) |

@#36363 "I don't want to recall "long" passwords" If security is not important and you don't want to recall long passwords, why don't you use https://meta.codidact.com/users/mobile-login?

One could probably make it work. By allowing anonymous questions (mobile or desktop doesn't matter, the content license doesn't require a logged in user) but sending them to a special review queue before and only making them visible to others if they are vetted. This would circumvent abuse and would ... (more) |

In that way we should probably remove the "ask question" button on mobile altogether and disable the submit button on the question ask page for at least 30 minutes (because that's the time it takes at least to think about a question, do research and write it all up). Or not. :)

I didn't want to criticize you in any way. I actually like that you've made this feature request, even though I disagree because I see too many opportunities for abuse. But I can relate to the idea of not having to authenticate. It's surely a barrier to entry and less barriers would be better in prin... (more) |

There is https://meta.codidact.com/users/mobile-login, which you probably only need to do once. Did you know about it?
Or maybe registration with a google/github account? (There might be a feature-request about that somewhere). (more) |

@#8046 Just want to agree with Lundin. The duplicate is also a result of no action on the first such topic. I wonder why local moderation cannot manually solve the problem for the time being. Maybe is there some mod tooling that is missing and that should be added urgently? Maybe we could also just s... (more) |
