In this thread I would like to externalize the feeling that I constantly get when trying to discuss technical topics on this forum. The feeling of constant censorship. Multiple times I’ve seen topics opened with the single intent to discuss a technical subject about Julia, but because of community …

I haven’t had (yet) any censorship myself, so basically I cannot tell anything regarding this issue. However, I do feel similar to what @juliohm feels. In the topic regarding Plots.jl, which has been closed due to getting off-topic because of the blast of complaints and other messages, you can find…

@juliohm I was one of the people who flagged your post because I felt (and do feel), that it violated our official community standards, not because I disagreed with it. I hope this won’t discourage you from sharing your technical opinions, and in particular I hope it won’t discourage you from postin…

Even though you are unwilling to provide details, I am considering the possibility that you are referring to my reply to you here . My understanding of the whole thing is the following: you were pinging Tom Breloff (who is, AFAIK, not a current maintainer of Plots.jl) about his plans for the package;…

One small thing I’ve noticed is that people get pissed off and answer when someone just complains or points out issues without offering concrete solutions.

Opening a thread like this as a reaction to getting one of your posts hidden by the community seems quite excessive. [image] juliohm: I hope this writeup can serve for both sides of the history, the ones being censored and the ones with censorship power. I hope I am wrong but phrasing things…

unlisted this after 4h? I think it is wrong decision. At least 24h could add minimal possibility to see this for people in every time zone…

[image] Tamas_Papp: I maintain that mentioning people with the @ feature should be used sparingly, and overusing it is rude. I understand that we all want to get replies to our questions, want them quick, and ideally from the people who know most about a topic. However, it is important to unders…

Ok, point taken. Re-listing for now with auto-close tomorrow 24 hours after the last post. Please keep it civil!

Wait, is this thread also being closed? Why?
