Let's see how these forums work in discord!

[chilly reef]

Let me know what tags should i add besides:
Firmware, configurator, lua, presets, flashing, tuning, blackbox

the text for the forum rules is generated by AI LOL

Let's see how these forums work in discord!

[chilly reef]

Added filters, OSD, GPS

can we keep blackbox tuning to the current channel?

Or here only (if this format is better)....just not both

[chilly reef]

I was thinking to eventually make a "forum" for tuning. If this channel format works?

[vapid forge]

Forum? Sounds old school...

back to 2010....😎

[chilly reef]

That's how they call this new format of channels

[vapid forge]

yeah...if you think its a better format lets give it a go

the main issue I think is keeping track of seperate support requests

]and also, if we could mandate a fixed approach to asking for help, like minimum information required that would be cool

most of the time its similar issues

[chilly reef]

Yeah the new forums should allow people to find similar questions answered already without nessesaty of reading through a bunch of unrelated comments in the mix

Fixed approach for support issues is nice, we have it on GitHub. Here maybe let's keep it a bit more free ) in the rules tho AI is asking people for blackbox, diff, dump, versions etc

Who is AI?

[hybrid hearth]

I don't trust albert

[steady hornet]

Who is gay

[chilly reef]

Artificial Intelligence lol

🤣 🤣 🤣

[hybrid hearth]

Great, once we teach ChatGPT to be sassy and trolly, then I'm truly out of a jerb here

[steady hornet]

it ought to have said "good luck noob"

[hybrid hearth]

It's implied.

[chilly reef]

somehow people are scared to make forum posts and still using regular support channel lol

[hybrid hearth]

Well, in all fairness, this is basically a private discussion and kinda hilarious. I wouldn't want to ruin it (more than I already have)

[zealous pawn]

see how fast I get a reply...thanks

[steady hornet]

cuck

[iron wind]

first

[hybrid hearth]

We're rapidly approaching the post quality of FB groups with nonstop 'thanks for the add' posts in public groups

[chilly reef]

i did not get if its good or bad lol

[pine crystal]

Is google indexing these forums at all? Else it’s kind of a knowledge graveyard. :/

[haughty escarp]

Google cannot scrape discord channels

[hybrid hearth]

I'm wondering if there would be a way to automate specific things, since sometimes some actual useful stuff comes through here

[fallow pivot]

chatGPT 🙂

Also we should have a wiki page for each configurator page. This way we can all contribute to knowledge on each topic.
Only firmware flasher has a distinct page, other tabs point to the general wiki.

[chilly reef]

not any different than Slack.
But here it actually pretty cool, cuz once you try to create a new forum post it suggests you a few that are close to your message.

so its not a graveyard as long as we stay in discord )

[pine crystal]

You can’t find these answers via Google though.

[pine crystal]

That’s a cool feature indeed. But comparison to Slack seems not helpful, since Slack is just as badly suited for a forum.
These companies try to keep you in their systems and never make you leave - as leaving means losing so much knowledge. But then not only is the content not globally findable, but also you probably cannot export it into a searchable archive when discord dies or makes very unfortunate decisions. (Look at how twitter suffers from a certain billionaire. Platform dependence is nothing to take lightly.)

[haughty escarp]

This isn't to "keep users in their platform", this is basic privacy

It'd be impossible for Google to safely index every discord channel while going off discord role permissions

[chilly reef]

Same as slack we used before, so what's the alternative?

[pine crystal]

An actual forum. Can also use GitHub discussions as the repo is there.

[chilly reef]

Yeah try to ask regular beginners to use GitHub discussions )
