Consider enabling Discussions here

[waynesbrain]

Enabling Discussions on GitHub would help to avoid having the Issues overrun with chatter. Some projects prefer to run a Discord server and that's fine in addition, but Discussions are nice because they're searchable by default.

I see too many political/meme/shitposting type of issues that undermines the project vision, I mean everyone enjoys a good laugh once in a while, but they are not serious about x11libre and are just making fun of x11libre at this project expense, I honestly hate the fact that it is necessary but there are too many troll issues.

Discussions can help lots of other things, For instance https://github.com/X11Libre/xserver/issues/45 really should be a discussion format instead of an issue ticket.

Discussions can help contain tangentally relevant topics, people can also post setups and applications that would be helpful for for XLibre specific stuff.

Discussion topics would be nice, even though I disagree that the Issue tab is being overrun, it would be cleaner. Seeing as how Metux hasn't even responded to a money offer, I think he isn't reading any of this anyway. If you want his attention you probably need to make a PR

Also, the people here seem pretty cool and I recently started a Discord with minimal rules, oddly enough called "Libre". Nobody else is really using it so people here could join, I'll make a category specifically pertaining to XLibre. It's the most transparent Discord you'll ever see.

Yes, please, enable discussion.
With GitHub, it is very easy to enable it:

thing nobody's mentioned is that issues basically are taking the place of discussions, there are tons of issues that aren't actual issues but instead suggestions that would be better.... in a discussion

https://github.com/orgs/X11Libre/discussions

Nice!

But discussion is enabled only for https://github.com/orgs/X11Libre/discussions.
And not for https://github.com/X11Libre/xserver.
But maybe it is wanted, if so, sorry for the noise.

Yes, this is intended since the discussions are at most more general in nature and span topics of different repositories. This may be changed when needed.

Also note that you can convert some issues into discussion (and, in my opinion, there are a lot of them...).

To convert a GitHub issue to a discussion, navigate to the issue in your repository and click the "Convert to discussion" button in the right sidebar.
