Around what? Unless things have changed drastically you have to do a lot more than download and deploy a docker container.

I actually doubt that. Look more carefully at the post to which I replied. Pay special attention to whom I replied. And what he was replying to.

It was better than Community Server, but the “bonus” admins that came with it were a bit of a downer.

@dkf I think endless technical problems were a bigger issue.

@Gąska Community Server was truly miserable, and was challenged on the security front by sieves, where those sieves were made of tissue paper.
had problems, but none of them actually involved me having to do all posting by writing raw HTML!

@dkf But posting raw HTML allowed all sorts of fun!

Point is that such "jokes" don't add anything to the discussion -- they are outright baiting and trolling. Of course, it's your turf so you will do as you please, but I'd hate to have to resort to dropping myself to their level and beating them with experience.
You are welcome to try. I doubt your chances of success are near what you think they are.
Yeah, we've got some pretty experienced cunts here.

Yes, those problematic admins figured out to leave us alone here.

Yeah, but saying that something is good because CS was worse is like saying the climate somewhere in nice because it's warmer than Antarctica.

This has been an insightful and enlightening exchange. Thanks for sharing your experience.

Nothing about Discourse is designed. It just happens and then gets bikeshedded later.

In you just go :hand_with_pink_up: to get but if available it's often cheaper to order one meter. Bonus points for looking cool.

How was it better?
CS had stupid bugs we hilariously exploited (Signature Guy) or bitched about (Fucking hell...). And it became stupidly slow once in a while when the whole 3MB tag cloud was transferred with every request. So, at the worst of times it was maybe as slow as .

probably because we actually drink strong beer and don't go for huge volumes of piss

Huge volumes of strong beer instead!
