methinks someone should look up what a Mastodon is
Or did you mean the band?
(it stands for breast tooth)
If your breasts have teeth you have more issues than an odd name.

What if your teeth have breasts? You could survive feeding off your own milk!
Edit: removed extra 's' from "breasts", which was making me sound like a pervert.

@Zecc
I'm sorry to tell you, but it's not any extras
's that make you sound like a pervert.

I need a pocket mirror when I'm on the go, so I took a picture of my bedroom mirror.

I notice that he got the point without having to ask.
How many "without context" riddles have you sent the poor man that he can now understand your post without a single "What"?

"No Jeff, no, that's not really a good idea!"
Jeff, advocating for something that's a bad idea? That's completely out of character.

Why wouldn't you allow shit inside shit when expressing shit? It seems only natural...

@ben_lubar Ah, I didn't notice. I wasn't paying attention to user names, since I don't know anyone on that forum.

another @riking spotting

Not sure if he's talking about Jeff...
i think this person might be permanently mad and thatβs not a good state for the head of a community platform to be in

Not sure whether this should go into WTFBites, Bad Ideas or this thread.

I'm pretty sure he's talking about DaveK, the OP in his linked post.

I like how the MS Paint illustration looks like evil red Discourse is taking over your website.

I don't know the context, but if Discourse is the only option, you're asking the wrong question.

Deep link: https://meta.discourse.org/t/need-help-regarding-smtp-and-steam-login/113282/
Summary:
how do I set up discourse without enabling email?
not supported GTFO!
but, I literally don't need it. I should be able to just use Steam SSO....
no, it is required to send verification email and pushes and reminders!
but I don't need any of that, verification is handled by Steam, and nothing else involving email--
look, I already told you about rakes, but discourse just can't work without an email provider, bar none!
well can I set up Gmail so I can at least--
NO! THAT'S AGAINST TOS!!!
?? Okay, where can I get the TOS?
dude, everyone else is doing it! Just follow the sheep!
I just don't need email, it would be yet another thing to keep track of that I don't want, need or use---
the only way you can move forward is to set up mail guns and get real email addresses to verify your users. You won't get anything else to work.

This one seems to be the "user's" fault though: if a working SMTP server is listed as one of the installation requirements you just know it's not going to be easy to do without one.
-
@JBert said in How can this be so wrong??? (AKA the Discopocalypse thread):
a working SMTP server
Yeah, I mean, is it too difficult to stand up a tiny localhost-based version? I don't know how that works in Linux land, but shirley there are guides on that?

I saw that. Wanted to post about sockbot but decided against it.

It pains me, but all of the guys were rando meta members. The first appearance of a user with a

Oh, has Jeff finally figured out how to sock it to his CoCDCK adherents?

@boomzilla
:bureaucrat1: Technically, the most strident of the people who was telling him he was doing it wrong is a paid Discourse hoster/consultant. So he's making money by telling people
-
@izzion that makes some sense. But he might also benefit from learning a new way to make money from hosting. So it makes sense that he'd hang out at meta and argue against his self interest.

Some @Discourse guy said:
If not sending email is your desire, you could use Google auth, which does supply an email address.
Also, later
You will lose email notifications, summary emails and stuff like that, and that can range from giving you just 5% less visits to killing your site because people forget to visits back. Depends on the community type.
People will stop visiting your site if they don't get Discourse notifications!

@end is not disappointingAs for the 502 errors, it sounds like the server was under-powered for the database size? How many posts, topics and users were there, and what were the cpu, ram, and disk stats of your server? Youβd also want to use a CDN for a large site to reduce load.
-
@Luhmann there's even a "mobile is different" moment.
+1 for the thread, it has all of the appropriate Discourse memes, including classics such as jellypotato and 502OK.

Oh, and later on megatopics are discussed.
An interesting idea did arise from that sub topic, in that having described bookmarks easily bangable into a TOC would be really nifty!
