Cross-Posting as Spam

Regarding the policy of cross-posting Gitlab MRs being seen as spam, I actually have raised this issue on Discourse Meta:

Yes, yes I am cross-posting as well here haha

But the F-Droid Discourse policy Topic I am responding to makes zero reference to Discourse itself as a platform, and it’s not like there’s an automatic trackback link from my mention on the Discourse Meta topic, so there’s no way anyone here would be aware of it otherwise.

Anyway, in my opinion the problem F-Droid siloing between Discourse and Gitlab is pretty normal for organizations that use both, and there could probably be a technical mitigation for it if the two platforms were better integrated with each other.

(Obviously my merely saying this does not solve the problem, but directing people to the Topic on Discourse Meta increases the likelihood that someone with the ability to fix the problem will actually do so, whether for themself or as a paid commission, which indeed Discourse Meta also facilitates for Discourse plugins, extensions, and features. No, I’m not putting my own money on this problem, though.)

This is nothing to do with what I mentioned.
Hooks are already available, but this is forum and not code based hub to provide updates or comments or discuss.

@elsiehupp
How does any of this relate to F-Droid and especially to what I mentioned in the ads not allowed post? This is forum, and too much of things here when gitlab admin is already available makes no sense. Moreover this is not a confluence and jira integration kind of talk, nor is it required. Each platform is there for a reason and not to be intertwined.

Finally, an admin or mod has the right to not allow topics which are not related. We are anyways way too much linenant. Do read the stuff again and please do not try and play smart and undermine anyone, it does not work that way.

Also, your tone there is very condescending. I will ignore it in good faith. :eyes:

Your impression of what is being seen as spam here is not correct. Please re-read again and when you comment do write on other places that it is your perception or own thought and not something you know as a fact.

Oh look your peers gave you a talking to.

I’m not sure what exactly you want from me at this point?

Why are you talking to me?
