#2947​·​Dennis HackethalOP, 9 months ago

Would you like to try formulating an explicit methodology for how you want to use Veritula?
I noticed that you’ve started a bunch of discussions but I don’t believe you’ve reached a resolution on any of them.

#2945​·​Dennis HackethalOP revised 9 months ago​·​Original #2902

Would you like to try formulating an explicit methodology for using Veritula?

This is ambiguous. To be clear, are you asking if I would like to make an explicit personal methodology for using the site, as part of my effort described in #2899? Or are you inviting me to formulate an explicit methodology for users of Veritula in general? (I realise these aren’t mutually exclusive.)

#2943​·​Dennis HackethalOP revised 9 months ago​·​Original #2932​·​Criticism

This is ambiguous.

That’s a criticism, so this idea should be marked as a criticism.

#2942​·​Dennis HackethalOP, 9 months ago​·​Criticism

Similarity is fine if it is less narrow, but ‘thread’ doesn’t seem any less narrow than ‘discussion’ to me. A ‘thread’ usually means a reply chain.

#2941​·​Benjamin Davies, 9 months ago​·​Criticism

I can’t decide if this communicates a grouping of ideas. Seems borderline.

#2939​·​Benjamin Davies, 9 months ago​·​Criticism

“Go check out the Karl Popper context on Veritula” would only make sense if you are already a Veritula user who is accustomed to using this terminology.

#2938​·​Benjamin Davies, 9 months ago

Makes me think of “subject of discussion”.

#2937​·​Benjamin Davies, 9 months ago​·​Criticism

I have an inexplicit criticism of this relating to “school subject”.

#2936​·​Benjamin Davies, 9 months ago​·​Criticism

This actually seems anti-discussion. Sounds like a grouping of ideas that are only related by conceptual proximity, rather than building on each other.

#2935​·​Benjamin Davies, 9 months ago​·​Criticism

This makes me think of “discussion topic”.

#2934​·​Benjamin Davies, 9 months ago​·​Criticism

Similar to ‘discussion’.

#2933​·​Benjamin Davies, 9 months ago​·​Criticism

Too jargon-y.

#2928​·​Benjamin Davies, 9 months ago​·​Criticism

It means that I have to scroll sideways to see the end of each line in a paragraph, which makes it more difficult to read ideas. It feels quite bad to use, compared to using Veritula on my computer, where the entire width of a paragraph is visible at all times.

A solution might be to adjust the mobile site dynamically to fit the user’s phone width.

Doesn’t communicate a grouping of ideas.

#2926​·​Dennis HackethalOP, 9 months ago​·​Criticism

Sounds like a voice chat (like Twitter spaces)

#2925​·​Dennis HackethalOP, 9 months ago​·​Criticism

Doesn’t communicate a grouping of ideas.

#2924​·​Dennis HackethalOP, 9 months ago​·​Criticism

Doesn’t communicate a grouping of ideas.

#2877 doesn’t mean you should put entire articles in the about section. (That’s still what top-level ideas are for.) It means that, if you’re willing to use the about section for that, then by your own logic there’s no need for this new feature.

#2911​·​Dennis HackethalOP, 9 months ago​·​CriticismArchived

Maybe, see #2909.

#2910​·​Dennis HackethalOP, 9 months ago​·​Archived

If ‘discussions’ take on a broader form, like we have discussed up to #2880, would this change?

Maybe. It could depend on which term Veritula adopts.

What if a user wishes to express that they take issue with something written in the entry/topic body text? I suppose they would quote it in their top-level criticism.

Yes.

Maybe about sections should themselves be criticizable… In which case they’re just regular top-level ideas. So maybe I could just remove about sections for future discussions. I’ll mull it over.

This change is on purpose. The zoom feature was buggy. After zooming out far enough, the navbar and footer got cut off on the right. So I replaced it with proper scrolling.

Would you say zooming was indispensable or just nice to have?

#2908​·​Dennis HackethalOP, 9 months ago​·​Archived

#2810 applies to this idea as well.

#2905​·​Dennis HackethalOP, 9 months ago​·​CriticismArchived

The new subscription system takes care of this.

Interview published today, with one of the founders of Wikipedia:
https://youtu.be/8-0vUZ0hTK4

He argues, like I do, that Wikipedia should allow multiple competing articles on each topic.

I partly agree with him on other problems he identifies, but unfortunately he doesn’t come at it from a Popperian angle.
