What is the difference between
https://github.com/meshtastic/meshtastic/discussions

and
https://github.com/orgs/meshtastic/discussions

?

I was about to wonder this myself. Considering the link on the Discourse page was "broken" for awhile, I am chalking these questions up to "let the dust settle" and will start to care in a few days.

The first one is the docs repo and that one is specifically used for the blog post comments. I'm looking to see if they can be migrated but for now they should not be used.

It's pretty easy to get to the correct one because it's linked on the main GitHub page for Meshtastic: https://github.com//meshtastic/

For now, I've removed all other categories and added an announcement banner to the docs repo to direct people here in case they got lost on the way.

Okay, blog post comments have been migrated and discussions at meshtastic/meshtastic have been disabled. Hopefully no more confusion. Thanks!

And I'm out. I understand the devs think this is a boon, but they also think discord is valid way to report issues.

"Out" is exactly where they were hoping most of us who ask uncomfortable questions would go.

Hey crichton, still eating Snickers bars upside down for the texture?

I understand some may be uncomfortable with this change, but there is no conspiracy here. We did this as described: to consolidate the message board style community feedback onto the platform we utilize the most. The fact is that the Discourse was slowly dying and becoming unmoderated. This gives us better visibility and integration into ticketing. Lets refrain from being accusatory and combative.

Is this a reply a quote wtf is this mess?

Lol they've added a reddit bot to post about reddit threads... This is working right?

Yes, we did. Since Discord is our largest platform, and Reddit is right behind it -- it just made sense to help expose it a little more. Neither are mandatory to use though.
