That happens here too, of course. I think it's really a consequence of greater conversation visibility rather than Discourse per se. And, Discourse gives greater ability to moderate those -- either to hide them, or to split them out into separate discussions so they don't distract. Or, at a greater extreme if we want to do this, we could limit direct participation in some discussions to members of FAS groups we decide (others could participate by replying in linked threads). > * There is no threading like we have with emails, so these replies > are more disruptive and the discussion is less organized. There actually _is_ threading in Discourse topics. It's just not presented in as a nested tree. For example: https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/future-of-encryption-in-fedora-desktop-variants/80397/4?replies_to_post_number=2 I probably should have been a little more active in moderating that thread. But also, I'm working on building up a bigger moderation team to help with that. (This too is waiting on the FAS group sync.) -- Matthew Miller <mat...@fedoraproject.org> Fedora Project Leader _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
