Social Media Reimagined

This is a companion to Fediverse Futures on Social Coding to elaborate the Fediverse from high-level, non-technical perspectives, brainstorming our visions and dreams.

We need a more holistic approach to fedi development and evolution. We need product designers, graphics artists, UX / UI / Interaction designers, futurists and visionaries to join the dev folks. Everyone is encouraged to join here and enrich our views on what Fediverse can be with diverse and different viewpoints, and to stimulate brainstorming, creativity, thinking out-of-the-box and crazy, wild ideas.

Some guidelines

Please read the Social Coding Community Participation Guidelines for more information.

You don’t seem to be a developer :)

I have been a developer for over 10 years now.

If you mix them with general discussions your entire project cycle management system breaks as you can’t have clear milestones etc. with forever open “issues” that are not issues but discussions.

I don't see why an issue must be assigned to a milestone, so I don't see how an issue can break any lifecycle.

How an issue is used in a development project is "it depends". Whatever the chosen and preferred method of the maintainers is. If you really want a concise backlog with concrete stuff, and no "pie in the sky" musings on future major extensions, then Discussion section can be very handy. If you don't use discussions, you may end in a situation where off-topic'ish issues sit in the backlog like forever, and pile up.

The Github Discusions is relatively new feature they added. I did not see many projects yet that are very actively using it.
