I'm convinced someone wrote an AI to upvote the dumbest comments on HN because they always seem to be at or near the top

Megaweapon: kind of like that one!

we all are haters :)

if someone make that such an AI, expect a Show HN thread revealing how YCombinator funded that project and it's now a full blown SaaS startup

a-865: Discourse™

SeaMonkey doesn't met Jeff Atwood's 10-year Vision

as if I needed "rich content"

sheesh

and instead they play active sabotage tactics (overflow-y: hidden;, also jQuery bougs click event handlers on <A> tags)

Discourse has always been a pox since it got first released nearly a decade ago

I set the ua to 91 as an expiriment in last 2.5315b1 pre. Try it. You still get the regexp error for now.

^experiment

CLOSED WONTFIX BUYAIPHONE TENYEARVISION

oh, forgot the NOLONGERWELCOMEHERE

if you get really insistent (or find a bug that put the Discourse them to shame), they will ban you

also they do not use a bugtracker, but a Discourse instance AS the bugtracker

somebody pointed me to that URI. That was my first experience Discourse, always avoided b4.

tunnel vision they have. Anyone choosing discourse as a forum software do not want users discussing things. That is probybly why mozilla choose it. Even junky phpbb is 1000 times better.

Even back in 2015, it was a terrible platform

bloaty, buggy as hell, even serverside it leaked resources like mad

oh, and Infiniscroll™

it was the first popular forum platform to break pagination because once again, 10 Year Vision™

whoever invented infiniscroll should be crucified

and even back then, Atwood was telling users that anyone using 5-year old computers back then should put then to pasture

The Daily WTF hosted one of the earliest instances of Discourse and massively bled members during that time (and they also broke the board nearly daily)

also HTTP 500 OK (the list of memes is so large it isn't funny anymore)

at some point they even had setup a site solely for monitoring uptime because the instance was down very frequently due to excessive CPU and RAM usage

oh, and the official setup instructions are: "the only supported setup is our Docker container, and nothing else"

but they would gladly sell hosted Discourse instances... complete with avatar CDNs (sadly that's not a joke)

Docker. That fits. Junk in junk :)

what.thedailywtf.com/topic/17231/wt…wrong-aka-the-discopocalypse-thread relevant reading

(TDWTF eventually migrated to Flarum, which is more bloaty junk... but the dev doesn't hate them, it uses a Real DBMS under the hood -PostgreSQL-, and pagination is opt-in!)

even a longtime lurker like me can get post-Discourse trauma

s/Flarum/NodeBB/

neither Flarum nor NodeBB reached the insane level of popularity that Dischorse, er, Discourse enjoys

but all of them are terrible, but kids these days want their embeds, rich media, and insane UI layouts

tomman I still need to update a woltlab forum. Unfortunately they changed the whole style system again. I like progress but this constant reinventing the wheel goes on my nerves.

Apple sez: "you must rewrite your apps every 3 years or less"

I am still looking for one non hobbyist website which got better in the last 3 years after a rewrite/relaunch.

frg_Away: I think there is a rule somewhere in W3 that says that's not allowed :p

how can the hardware suppliers sell us new stuff if software doesn't continue endless bloat?

128k is plenty :)

My 128GB is plenty :)

look no add-on :) ibb.co/0QbML6q

same

wonder if they use shadow dom at all.

are we WebComponents™ yet?

tomman halfway when you enable them manually. Just added Bug 1443722 to my tree and it fixed the branch display in github. But didn't try to login in gitlab. Porbably still regexp issues.
