I can't help but notice that pandering to lazy iPhone-addicted teenagers will bring more 1 post users asking homework tier questions and drive away those who answer them.

Sounds like a win :-DD

Exactly!

What this has to do with technical merits of this discussion?

If everyone starts to hate classic forums, then they'll naturally move to something else. There does not seem to be the problem at the moment.  Only benefits really. All homework kids go to stackoverflow.

Again, give us examples of big technical forums on Discourse. I personally don't actually think it will scale that well. I would love to be proven wrong.

ROFL!


--- Quote ---Why do you only officially support Docker?

Hosting Rails applications is complicated. Even if you already have Postgres, Redis and Ruby installed on your server, you still need to worry about running and monitoring your Sidekiq and Rails processes, as well as configuring Nginx. With Docker, our fully optimized Discourse configuration is available to you in a simple container, along with a web-based GUI that makes upgrading to new versions of Discourse as easy as clicking a button.

It's their way or the highway, and even if you do it their way you're basically running blind.

I work mostly in software and one thing that really stands out over the years is how much more unnecessarily complex things have gotten, and the worst part of it is that it's almost all self-inflicted: all the younger ones are drawn in by the marketing wank and don't take the time to understand and think about things, they just slap a bunch of bloated libraries together.

Docker is basically "we've made our software so complex that we can't figure out how you are supposed to install it, so how about we just give you this nicely-wrapped ball of shit instead." |O


I just noticed the OP is from Italy... maybe the stress of the quarantine is getting to him. :(

I just looked at all of those and every one of them has that hideous sea of white that makes it almost unusable to me. I can't speak for everyone but if I didn't abandon it entirely I would spend vastly less time here if it moved to that platform.
