Thanks for checking. I expected it to show what you've already flagged, like for reactions. Whatever else we do, seems like we should make that consistent. (more) |

Wow. I had no idea you could do that. I'm going to guess that you can use classes that are part of the Codidact CSS -- these look like cases of that and the person who wrote that answer contributes to the code. But this is just a guess, hence comment not answer, in case anyone wants to use this in... (more) |

Not everyone browses full-screen or at default zoom. This change needs to not break the editing experience for those cases.
Options I can think of:
- toggle, like on GitHub, rather than side-by-side
- side-by-side (hiding right sidebar) at a certain scale TBD that works with zoom
- sticky op... (more) |

I've now realized this is for the short guidance, not the wiki. The wiki should be as long as is needed, but the short guidance is meant to fit in a summary or hover text, so it can't be huge. And I've reproduced the problem in Chrome. (more) |

There's always going to be _some_ limit, from the database column type if nothing else, but we might need to raise it. In any case, though, yes if we show a counter it should be accurate. Thanks for the report. (more) |

Thanks for these suggestions. Yes, the idea is to allow conversations, not just single messages. It started with mod messages: moderators can send warnings (or suspension messages) now, but they're one-shot and there's no easy way to respond and discuss. We want to fix that. And in fixing that, w... (more) |

@#52991 my thought is that you could have one discussion with mods "open" at a time, and it stays open until somebody explicitly closes it. This would allow a long-running channel if that's easier for the people involved. If I recall correctly (I don't have that branch set up at the moment), new me... (more) |

@#8058 no plagiarism involved! It's better to have it in an answer where it's demonstrably more visible. :-) I'm glad you added it. (more) |

I think part of the confusion is from terminology. Your user name is actually a *display name*, and those don't have to be unique. Your *user ID* must be unique, and that's the number. By analogy, your email address must be unique, but the name that shows up alongside it in your "from" line needn'... (more) |

Other instances can set whatever policies they like, yes. The repository comes with placeholders for terms of service, code of conduct, etc. that other networks can populate. On codidact.com we require attribution for anything you didn't create yourself. If a source doesn't require that in its lic... (more) |

We originally envisioned free-form links, so you could specify the platform and the username/link/whatever -- choose Twitter, GitHub, Tumblr, whatever. I'm not sure what happened to that idea. (As it turns out, this is what Mastodon does, though I hadn't seen that yet back in 2019 or 2020 when we w... (more) |

Wow, I didn't know that was possible. I agree we don't want animation on by default. I favor the "disable now, add customization guardrails later" approach suggested in answers.
I assume by dynamic you mean specifically animated (as opposed to some other way of changing an avatar from use to use... (more) |

It sounds like what you're looking for is an answer (with a special purpose) that is "pinned" to the top. But correctly using what you've described would require a lot of work and it would probably not always be used correctly. Another way to put a summary of answers before the full list is to edit...

I added a status-completed tag to the question, but didn't want to bury what the change was in a revision comment, so I added this answer to explain. It can sit here at the bottom of the list; the answer with all the details is already voted up to the top. (more) |

So far no communities have taken us up on this, but it's an open offer. I had in mind categories of posts -- for example, Resources on Languages & Linguistics, not individual posts. In order to switch an individual question or article (for example) to the wiki, type, we would need to enable wiki po... (more) |

If you post something without attribution, then you're representing that material
-- ChatGPT's output in this case, but the same principle applies if you copied from Wikipedia or a blog or product documentation -- as your own work and that's a problem of both ethics and theft (plagiarism). Things... (more) |

We should have disabled meta rep from the start but didn't. We can turn it off for any community that wants that. Rep would be recalculated. (more) |

Staff is just a label; it doesn't carry any special privileges on its own. (Many staff are also mods or admins and get the abilities that way.) We just wanted a way to let folks know who's part of the team. (more) |

Makes sense; thanks for pointing it out. Do you think it's ok to wait until they're done and just change it once here, or is that causing confusion and we should make a shorter-term change and then change it again when the numbers go away? (more) |

@#61308 what you say is true on SO (where these things can happen within minutes or even seconds), but there's a different culture here on Codidact.

@#61750, I think you've nailed it. Questions about using ChatGPT are like questions about using Word or Postgres or git etc. If the question fits otherwise in a community's scope, isn't too broad, etc., I don't see a problem. (more) |

@#61308 avoiding your last sentence is why I want to explore an incubator idea.

Unless a community come... (more) |

Most of what I know about ActivityPub is in the context of Mastodon, which I (like millions of others) really only became aware of late last year. I know there's a lot more to the Fediverse than Mastodon. Could you say more about how a platform like Codidact could fit into that model? What does fe... (more) |
