I recalced your abilities manually, so you should now have the ability to edit posts directly, but this does indicate an issue where the recalc script doesn't run or doesn't work correctly, so we'll have to look into it. (more) |

A: What is the policy for Codidact data use by other, especially for-profit organizations? IMHO we need to distinguish two things: 1. It's not really possible per se to prevent for-profit companies from just accessing our web pages and downloading the content from them. We can try to block crawlers of known bad faith actors, as has been suggested before and should, in my personal... (more) |

A: Why discord and not IRC? The reason Discord was chosen is disappointingly simple: It's just the chat software I used and knew best when I invited some people over from Stack Exchange to start this project. The Discord server for Codidact existed before the network of Q&A sites did. Then the whole thing kind of exploded an... (more) |

I don't get what you mean with pre-chosen, since if you mean specific places (such as "Discord" or "Twitter") that wouldn't be the case [anymore] with my suggestion.
I think some explicit metadata are better because
1. they are highlighted in contrast to continuous text
2. they are at an expec... (more) |

A: Proposal: remove Twitter from profiles I definitively agree with the premise of the suggestion, but instead of getting rid of all/most additional input fields and instead of making it a per-instance/per-community thing (which both are generally good ideas), I'd go a step further and suggest to make it a per-user thing. Mastodon has thi... (more) |

We need to talk about Abilities The problem Almost three years ago we introduced Abilities to Codidact as an improved system for granting activity-based permissions, such as allowing users who have made consistently great edit suggestions to edit posts without requiring approval. I'll defer to the linked posts on how Abilities f... (more) |

A: Activity Pub Support When this was initially proposed some years ago, I was very clearly opposed because I did not see much use in such a feature. Having, however, now used Mastodon as my main social platform for almost a year, I would propose to reconsider the previous decision. Codidact has always been about communi... (more) |

A: Drop down panels drift away from their buttons on zooming This is pretty much by-design. Zooming in web browsers is not "really" just enlarging the displayed parts, but instead changes a lot of settings/properties for the web page, such as screen resolution/size and base font size. This is generally useful, because it allows websites to adapt to these ch... (more) |

That is correct @#54706; if I recall correctly, our official recommendation is still to delete/put on hold and re-ask in the right community. (more) |

Yeah we have the warning tool, that's right. However I chose not to use it because I presumed - as you confirmed in the question - that there was no malicious intent by you, so a formal warning seemed inappropriate.
E-Mail would also have been a possibility, right, but I chose not to look it up in... (more) |

Thanks for the report. There seems to be an issue with invalid birth dates stored by them, which we can't fix (through the interface Stripe provides us). We've already contacted them but they have unfortunately not yet responded satisfactorily and now chose to halt transactions instead. 😠 (more) |

A: Show headings in a preview Disagreeing with that. I don't see a need for showing the title in a "preview". For the body, there is a need because something different will be shown in the final post than what is entered into the textarea, because the markdown is renderer into HTML. However post titles are shown exactly as ... (more) |

A: Put the title input field above the body in comment threads Disagreeing with that for two reasons: First of all, the same argument as for posts applies that title should be written after the body because it is intended as a kind of summary and you can't summarize something that hasn't been written yet. The idea of the title is to give users a quick overvie... (more) |

Putting this on status planned because it is a good idea. I'm mostly unavailable this week for personal reasons, so this might take a while to get implemented. Also, I think adding given reactions to your (public) activity feed might be a good idea too (since comments are there too and there is no an... (more) |

Err... that wasn't formulated clearly. I mean that, besides fixing, you could also just add a warning/disclaimer into the post. For example "The solution proposed in this post only works with Python version 1.0.0 or earlier" or "Attention! This is ***very*** hot and you could easily burn yourself if ... (more) |

TBF I don't really see a reason why you would ever want to self-react on a post. If you found a post outdated or dangerous, best recourse would be to edit the post and to address the issue. So I suppose we could also completely prohibit self-reactions without much trouble. (more) |

More answer feedback -- Reactions are coming to Codidact A bit over a year ago, I proposed to add a “reactions” like feature on Codidact, which would allow marking answers as “accepted”, “outdated” or “dangerous”, providing more detailed feedback to users seeing the answer than simple votes. For example, a upvote could mean “this works for me” or “this sou... (more) |

@#8049 I'll look into why you're getting a 404 but I asked, because we had to implement a Cloudflare-level brake on requests from Sweden (aka the verification step) due to a sudden, massive increase of requests from there, very likely to be automated and malicious. So I was just wondering if that may... (more) |

Just to confirm your suspicion: yes it was me who made that change to the tag (I also added the excerpt). FYI I see some technical and non-technical issues with the suggestion (what if it is just a spelling error? couldn't this cause confusion too? what if the tag is used on a lot of posts?) and will...

Archiving this thread, because
