  Dennis Hackethal criticized idea #2930.

I noticed that you’ve started a bunch of discussions but I don’t believe you’ve reached a resolution on any of them.

I think this is partly to do with the fact that Veritula has no clear way of indicating when a resolution has been reached or a problem has been solved.

For example, I am currently applying #2840, and it is working well. There is no obvious thing I should be doing in Veritula to note that. I would probably only bring it up again if it didn’t solve the problem in the end.

I think this is partly to do with the fact that Veritula has no clear way of indicating when a resolution has been reached or a problem has been solved.

It does. For example, you could post an idea saying ‘I have decided to do X.’ Like in your discussion on where to move.

You can also indicate resolution of top-level criticisms by archiving them when they have pending counter-criticisms. The meta discussion is an example of top-level ideas reaching resolutions in this way.

Would you like to try formulating an explicit methodology for how you want to use Veritula?

#2945​·​Dennis HackethalOP revised 5 months ago

Would you like to try formulating an explicit methodology for how you want to use Veritula?

This seems like a good idea.

  Dennis Hackethal commented on criticism #2943.

Would you like to try formulating an explicit methodology for using Veritula?

This is ambiguous. To be clear, are you asking if I would like to make an explicit personal methodology for using the site, as part of my effort described in #2899? Or are you inviting me to formulate an explicit methodology for users of Veritula in general? (I realise these aren’t mutually exclusive.)

#2943​·​Dennis HackethalOP revised 5 months ago

See revision #2945.

#2932​·​Benjamin Davies, 5 months ago

This is ambiguous.

That’s a criticism, so this idea should be marked as a criticism.

  Benjamin Davies addressed criticism #2940.

Why is similarity a bad thing in and of itself? It can be reminiscent of discussions as long as it’s less narrow.

#2940​·​Dennis HackethalOP, 5 months ago

Similarity is fine if it is less narrow, but ‘thread’ doesn’t seem any less narrow than ‘discussion’ to me. A ‘thread’ usually means a reply chain.

  Dennis Hackethal addressed criticism #2933.

Similar to ‘discussion’.

‘Entry’

#2917​·​Dennis HackethalOP, 5 months ago

I can’t decide if this communicates a grouping of ideas. Seems borderline.

  Benjamin Davies commented on criticism #2928.

Too jargon-y.

#2928​·​Benjamin Davies, 5 months ago

“Go check out the Karl Popper context on Veritula” would only make sense if you are already a Veritula user who is accustomed to using this terminology.

  Benjamin Davies criticized idea #2915.

‘Subject’

#2915​·​Dennis HackethalOP, 5 months ago

Makes me think of “subject of discussion”.

‘Subject’

#2915​·​Dennis HackethalOP, 5 months ago

I have an inexplicit criticism of this relating to “school subject”.

  Benjamin Davies criticized idea #2922.

‘Cluster’

#2922​·​Dennis HackethalOP, 5 months ago

This actually seems anti-discussion. Sounds like a grouping of ideas that are only related by conceptual proximity, rather than building on each other.

  Benjamin Davies criticized idea #2913.

‘Topic’

#2913​·​Dennis HackethalOP, 5 months ago

This makes me think of “discussion topic”.

  Benjamin Davies criticized idea #2914.

‘Thread’

#2914​·​Dennis HackethalOP, 5 months ago

Similar to ‘discussion’.

I think this is partly to do with the fact that Veritula has no clear way of indicating when a resolution has been reached or a problem has been solved.

For example, I am currently applying #2840, and it is working well. There is no obvious thing I should be doing in Veritula to note that. I would probably only bring it up again if it didn’t solve the problem in the end.

‘Context’

#2921​·​Dennis HackethalOP, 5 months ago

Too jargon-y.

  Benjamin Davies commented on idea #2908.

This change is on purpose. The zoom feature was buggy. After zooming out far enough, the navbar and footer got cut off on the right. So I replaced it with proper scrolling.

Would you say zooming was indispensable or just nice to have?

#2908​·​Dennis HackethalOP, 5 months ago

It means that I have to scroll sideways to see the end of each line in a paragraph, which makes it more difficult to read ideas. It feels quite bad to use, compared to using Veritula on my computer, where the entire width of a paragraph is visible at all times.

A solution might be to adjust the mobile site dynamically to fit the user’s phone width.

  Dennis Hackethal criticized idea #2918.

‘Note’

#2918​·​Dennis HackethalOP, 5 months ago

Doesn’t communicate a grouping of ideas.

  Dennis Hackethal criticized idea #2916.

‘Space’

#2916​·​Dennis HackethalOP, 5 months ago

Sounds like a voice chat (like Twitter spaces)

  Dennis Hackethal criticized idea #2920.

‘Piece’

#2920​·​Dennis HackethalOP, 5 months ago

Doesn’t communicate a grouping of ideas.

  Dennis Hackethal criticized idea #2919.

‘Post’

#2919​·​Dennis HackethalOP, 5 months ago

Doesn’t communicate a grouping of ideas.

  Dennis Hackethal commented on criticism #2912.

‘Discussions’ are too narrow a term for a collection of ideas. See #2878.

While ideas should always be ‘discussable’, that doesn’t mean everyone who wants to share an idea always wants to start a discussion. Maybe they just want to put some information out there.
