| Apr 24, 2025 at 7:13 | comment | added | Lomtrur | A lot of the posts will become obsolete over time. Users who go there for latest trends don't have much reason to care about old posts. There might be a new programming language, with a short-lived Discussion post, but eventually it will stop being new and then it's just a post about an established language - which might still be useful, but if you want to read about the latest news/trends you probably won't care too much about it. If some new technology is actually relevant you can discuss it in the context of tooling/workflow. Tooling and workflow makes more sense to me. | |
| Apr 23, 2025 at 13:09 | comment | added | Greg Burghardt | I've run into a number of discussions that walk the line between a legitimate discussion about a topic and a veiled attempt at promoting something. My answer has been to flag it as spam. | |

| Apr 23, 2025 at 0:54 | comment | added | V2Blast | @ray: I mean, the same applies to Q&A and comments. All we/they can do is establish the rules, and then it's just a matter of enforcing them. Definitely something to watch out for, but I don't think Discussions is different from Q&A in this regard. | |

| Apr 22, 2025 at 19:02 | comment | added | NoDataDumpNoContribution | Maybe avoid overly speculation. "What is the next big ...?" type of discussions rarely are good. Make them as specific as possible or even comparisons of existing or announced technology. | |
