So far, the majority of posts being created in Discussions via this tool have been awful...
I have already referenced 2 posts that were Spam and a code dump, but I'm going to give some more examples of posts made since this went live (in no particular order):
Any news on fluuter integration test with OAuth2 ?
This literally is a single liner and isn't a Discussion. This should have been a comment, or a bounty.Did you solve your problem ? We're facing the exact same problem ...
How to extract username and password from Request.Headers.Authorization in a modern and reliable way
This is a follow-on question, but it's not a discussion. The author is asking a programming question, which Discussions isn't for. They also then appear to answer their question in the replies; Answers are for answers to programming questions.How can you identify if the transaction is made from supplementary card. I want to block all the transactions from supplementary.
The appears to be asking for clarification from the author of the answer, or is again, a programming based question. It does not meet the guidelines for Discussions. It's also a one liner, and discussions should have more content that that:How can I identify if the transaction is made from supplementary card. I want to block all the transactions from supplementary card. The transaction object I receive, does not contain any information regarding that.
Search on wildcard fields in OpenSearch Dashboards
Another one liner. It's very low quality and not asking something that is on-topic for Discussions.I am able to run the queries explained in the answer of mentioned question in DevTools view of OpenSearch Dashboards. I'm wondering whether there is a way to search on such fields using the discover view in OpenSearch Dashboards. It would be a huge convenience.
What is the benefit of looping over partitions?
Actually a good discussion start point in my opinion.Streaming an RTSP IP camera in HTML
This is asking for debugging help when the author has attempted to implement the solution; that is a programming based questions and should be posted as question.
The lack of onboarding and guidance the users are getting here is not helping. Discussions are being used incorrect to make comments; Discussions aren't comments. This low quality content is only going to detract the feature from getting interactions from users more, because the quality of the content is so low. The goal of Stack Overflow was to be a repository of high quality content. I'm beginning to think that the ethos of the company is now Quantity over Quality.
Some more examples:
Why doesn't the end tag not included in an ASIDE.OuterHTML
Was a Programming based question. Author has now changed the Discussion to be purely a link to their question; both break guidelines for Discussions.Change jenkins message on start
Asking a Programming question; it is not a discussion.Change jenkins message on start
Asking a Programming question; it is not a discussion. Duplicate of prior discussion.What if I don't use Shell? How can I get hold of the platform toolbar to be able to customize it?
Asking a Programming question; it is not a discussion. It is asking the author of the answer how do achieve something when their environment differs.Loss of functionality
Saying the solution no longer works, and how to solve the problem now. Should be a bounty or a new Question; it's not a discussion.How do I specify `gridPane.prefWidthProperty().bind(root.widthProperty())` in fxml?
A follow up question about the implementation of the solution; not a discussion, it's a programming question.The selected option holds over the others - select redirection js
Follow up question; the answer provided a solution but a new problem. This is likely part of what I touch in in my other answer. Should be an edit to their question, or a new question; not a discussion.
And, perhaps the best example (so far) of how misleading this new feature is:
found a solution?
did you find a solution for this?
That is probably the highest quality Discussion I have ever seen. /sarcasm
This is a far from an exhaustive list of examples of bad Discussions created by the new feature; it's just a sample of them.
