Comment Post #291107 @#61308 With my proposal, you'd still get a username. It would just be disconnected from everything else about yourself and your account, and not be very memorable. (A GUID is one way to do that. There are other possibilities.) And the idea is to offer the *option* of being anonymous even against peo...

Question Allow completely pseudonymous user accounts
(I realize that this proposal might ruffle some feathers. Please read through it in full before knee-jerk voting. Also, I use "anonymous" in the proposal text for simplicity, but it would really be more pseudonymous than anonymous.) One part to the EU/UK GDPR is that personal data must be necessar...

Question Autosave preference keeps getting reset to ON
I just had to go into my account preferences and turn autosave off again because it somehow had been reset to on. I know that I went through all Codidact communities a while back (maybe a month or two ago) and turned autosave off everywhere. This isn't the first time that has happened either. W...

Comment Post #290930 This feels like an interesting proposal for improvement, but I don't think it's a high priority issue; it seems likely to be moderately complex to implement, and there's a relatively easy existing way to do the same thing. I also wouldn't call lack of a feature a "bug". We do have the "feature-req...

Answer A: Categorical or criterion-based voting
This use case is already covered by reactions. The set of reactions available is community-specific, and I think is also per category. If you feel a reaction is missing but would be useful, bring that up in the community's Meta category, which is where community decisions are discussed. If a po...

Comment Post #290923 You ask about "site policies", which I take to mean policies of each respective community (which need not be the same), but then you show an organisational chart of the Codidact development *organisation* which is something very different. Can you clarify in your question what you are actually int...

Answer A: Proposals site is not listed on Codidact home page
There's a link right there, if you look under "The community I want isn't here!" Proposals isn't intended to be a full-fledged community in its own right; it's intended to be a place where it can be determined whether a community has community support and can attract high-quality content. As such,...

Answer A: Could we adopt the domain “.cd”?
In addition to the issue of cost, there is also the issue of control of the top-level domain. While political events in Congo perhaps do not dominate world news, events over the past few decades) don't at a glance inspire confidence in the long-term political stability of the country.

Question Post owner should always be able to approve or reject edits
Apparently the owner of a post cannot approve a pending suggested edit on that post. I'm not sure if this is a bug report or a feature request, but either way, I propose that the post owner should always be able to approve or reject a proposed edit to their post (of any type) because, frankly, did...

Answer A: Am I allowed to participate here, despite being network banned from Stack Exchange?
I'll largely echo the existing answer. Despite some elements being very similar, Codidact is not Stack Exchange. What you did, or did not, do on Stack Exchange, were you there, does not automatically carry over to Codidact. Your current status, good or bad, on Stack Exchange does not automat...

Comment Post #290040 @#61308 As a general rule of thumb: Yes. If you see something which you feel is in violation of the code of conduct, flag it for moderator attention. If you see a moderator acting in a way which you feel is in violation of the code of conduct, use the contact page to contact the Codidact team. ...

Comment Post #289990 @#61308 @#64656 Both of my examples were, of course, just that: examples. They were hardly finished, properly formatted, easily readable questions, nor were they intended to be. The point was to illustrate that a question absolutely can list things that someone has already tried. In some cases doing ...

Answer A: What is the appropriate tone for feedback on questions and answers?
> Should you assume knowledge of all site rules? > Should you assume knowledge of only "main" site rules but not all? I'm not sure what distinction you are trying to make here between "all site rules" and "only main site rules". In general I think it's reasonable to assume familiarity with rule...

Answer A: What fluff (and what level of fluff) is acceptable in posts?
> 4\. Does (or should) the policy depend on which community (i.e. which subsite of codidact.com) the post belongs to? Yes. Different communities, although using the same software, can and will have different standards for what makes a good post. Some aspects of this will almost certainly transf...

Comment Post #289793 The specific question referenced looks answerable, so I have reopened it. You can always flag a question for moderator attention if you feel that it was closed in error, or that the issues that caused it to be closed have been resolved. Codidact/QPixel isn't quite as refined yet as some commercial...

Answer A: Activity Pub Support
I'm not sure if this is actually an answer or not, but as suggested in a comment thread, I'll put it out there and see what happens. My understanding is that Fediverse / ActivityPub support doesn't necessarily have to be both ways. Bidirectional federation is definitely more useful, but there can ...

Question QPixel goes to the "new post" page when I press Ctrl+N to open a new browser window
If I am on some web page (such as on Codidact), and want to check out some detail elsewhere on the web, my usual first step is to press Ctrl+N to open a new browser window, then navigate to do whatever it is I wanted to do. Typically this works fine. With QPixel it does not. QPixel instead t...

Comment Post #288361 I don't think ActivityPub has specific allowances for that, but the more general concept of Fediverse federation certainly does. Look at the /about page on almost any Mastodon instance, and you'll see a list of servers with which federation is restricted. However, that's still in one sense approac...

Question What's happened to Codidact Collab?
For a while today, I got DNS resolution failures for `collab.codidact.org`. Now I'm getting a certificate hostname mismatch error; the certificate presented is for `catchall-server-default.s449.sureserver.com` which obviously is nothing like `collab.codidact.org`. What's happening?

Comment Post #288292 You mention that you have taught college level courses in GIS since 2017, which intuitively seems like a great way to build both a user base and a question base.
