Just use GitHub Issues and Discussions, please - it's so much simpler for everyone.

- mooreds 5y ago> Just use GitHub Issues and Discussions, please - it's so much simpler for everyone. This is a totally valid choice and I know folks who have gone that path. If you are focused on an OSS project, it is a nobrainer. From a company standpoint, there are downsides: * who owns the user? GitHub * who owns the posts you and your community are making? GitHub * who owns the links and the other residual benefits from knowledge being shared on the site? GitHub Weighed against all of that is the fact that there is a tremendous number of developers on GitHub and you are engaging with them where they are. At $CURJOB we try to separate bugs/feature requests (which go to GitHub) from support (which goes to a forum). Again, it's a tradeoff that anyone trying to foster a developer community should consider.
