Community Staff Lead Software Engineer at New Relic Joined over 10 years ago via an invitation from Allan G.
The previous post was from creative bloq, this one is by Brand New. A reputible blog who specializes in review rebrandings. In contrast to creative bloq, I care about what they say. Figured others did too :shrug:.
You're not entirely wrong. We are almost all volunteer. All of us except for Matt Hollingsworth who I believe works for Tiny, the company that owns TN (correct me if I'm wrong, Matt)
Anyway, we have the guidance of the community guidelines at the bottom of the site and some coordination in the Slack workspace, but it's not enough. More importantly, imo, we're fighting a losing battle (we need better mod tools and more support from Tiny considering the massive amounts of spam and voting rings we're seeing). I think we each still do this because we love/loved this site and don't want to see it completely die.
But this site needs more love from Tiny. Fixes for bugs, new features, better search, better existing link checking, and shifting back to invitation only would be great.
If you really want great ideas for how to improve the site, ask Catalin C.
I genuinely may just be getting old and out of touch, but I don't get this kind of design. To me, it's just weird, and weird !== cool or good design.
Dude, you're not in the Slack workspace for mods? Not sure how that happened. If you shoot me your email address, I'll invite you. If you don't want to leave it here in the open feel free to DM me.
There are several of us still going at it.
Please do not post low effort listicles on DN. This post is getting sunk.
Makes sense, he probably didn't want to bash the entire community publicly for something a few peoples said.
How did you get into design and what has your journey been like leading up to leading design at Figma?

We’re not. We’ve tried to help, but the owners don’t care. I think I speak for most of us when I say I’ve given up.
