wattOS Talk / Well, this doesn't look good
« on: August 05, 2023, 08:40:19 PM »
I just posted a reply to an old discussion I had started. After posting it I took a look through all the different discussions and when they were posted as well as the last time anyone replied. All I can say is, why are there so few posts? Again, is WattOS still active or have I installed a distro that is going to just fade away on me? If WattOS has gone inactive, please let me know. I sure don't want to spend a lot of time tweaking my install and searching for ways to accomplish different task, just to find out that I'm trying to keep a drowning distro alive.
As I have stated a few times previously, if Discord is the only way to get help, I'll have to consider looking for another distro that will meet my needs. I tried just a short while ago to login to Discord and I was hit with that "Enter a Phone Number" crap I was getting last time I tried to use Discord. I hate social disease website. If that's my only option for getting suggestions, advice, and general help, I would only have the option to find a different distro. I guess I just do not understand why a forum like this one was abandoned in favor of some silly social disease site. It makes no sense to force users of a Linux distribution to get an account with some social disease site when you already had a perfectly fine forum that EVERYBODY can access without being forced to expose themselves on such a site as Discord. If you think Discord is an acceptable place for a Linux forum, please check out each of these links. They show proof that Discord is dangerous, and that people you don't know or want to exchange anything with manage to access your account. Just like Facebook, your account can be hijacked and the hijacker can then make threatening posts or otherwise dangerous or embarrassing posts that you would never make. If you will just look at the search results in the first link, you will also see that Discord is down a lot. Is THIS forum down that much? I pretty much doubt it. So, I have to really wonder why those in charge of WattOS would force potential users to expose themselves on a social disease website.
