Comment Post #290080 > The details aren’t public. I’m curious how people view there being some kind of blocking mechanism on Codidact that isn’t open source. Does anyone feel that being open source is relatively integral to Codidact being a genuine alternative to SE, which in a genuinely egalitarian way, is “by the pe...

Comment Post #290068 I’d like to try to understand this better. Is it that all new users would automatically not have their content circulated and visible to other users, until passing a ‘probationary period’? I can see the value in this. My only suggestion would possibly be a change in terminology. A “probationary pe...

Question What incentives are there currently to edit and moderate? Should there be more?
On Stack Exchange, I spent a significant portion of my time on the site editing posts, because the idea of an SE site as a repository of useful reference information has long appealed to me. Being new to Codidact, I am currently taking it all in and trying to observe to what extent one feels natur...

Comment Post #290736 changes how the user will feel using that function, how often they will choose to do so, etc. I can go into more detail on this point of view. For now I wanted to say that to me, this is a functionality which would very much lend itself to what I currently understand a goal of Codidact to be - a s...

Comment Post #290736 Thank you for your response. The main reason I believe the general goal of having directly built-in functions (such as buttons) for converting (or even “refactoring”) a single post into multiple separate posts is of value or interest is because of what you might call “user flow”: true, I could edi...

Question Extremely high standards for code of conduct?
This is just a hypothetical idea I’d like to share. I sometimes feel the bar has been set very low in how people conduct themselves on forums, since we are used to places like Reddit, and compared to that, Stack Exchange can seem very structured and regulated. That said, as a user of SE, I often d...

Question Would there ever be A / B testing?
Would there ever be a scenario where an experimental feature is tried out with a smaller cohort of users in order to observe the resulting dynamics and compare it to the alternative? I mean more than just a feature testing playground (https://meta.codidact.com/posts/288826/288833). I mean, in c...

Comment Post #276749 Just for the sake of creativity, I feel like mentioning there are all kinds of possibilities regarding this. For example, whatever you wish to call “the number of times something has been voted on” could be taken to represent *certainty* - sort of like in research reproducibility, more votes is taken...

Question Vote counts as ratios?
This is not meant to be a committed advocating or request of the following, but rather a conversation to analyze the possibilities and potential benefits and drawbacks. What if the total score for a post was bounded in a small interval - either (-1,1), or possibly (0, 1) (or even [0, 1]). There...

Question Library of Congress classification: class AND subject tags (including sub-tags)
The library of Congress classification system gives items both a single class, and multiple subject tags. This system has some significant benefits. Also, their subject tag system has sub-tags - for example, “Kant — Biography”, or “Technology — China”. (Note: one easy way to enable giving each...

Question More inherently built-in chatting?
It could be cool to have more accessible chatting for all posts. What if there were a sidebar on every post where there was always a live chat? Unlike SE, you never need to specifically create and open a chat room. Every post has a side chat bar. This could give people more communication options. ...

Question A refactoring convenience function.
Here is a redraft and elaboration of what this post is about, partially in response to some comments I've received. This post may be about a few different things at once, and may need to be refactored. (In my opinion, this makes it interesting as a question, since the post acts as a demonstration ...

Question Make searching posts slightly more easy
I find the search function slightly too hard to find. I mean, it’s just in the menu, but intuitively, I feel like it should be a little more accessible, immediately visible. Also, we would benefit from seeing suggested similar posts, as we draft our posts.

Question Thoughts on downvotes? Could you be able to hide vote counts in general?
Seeing as Codidact is sort of an opportunity to do things a little differently than Stack Exchange, I was wondering how people feel in general about certain things about Stack Exchange, which we might as a community be able to change, if we want it. How do people feel about downvotes? I mean, I ac...
