Thoughts on Pythonista

Ramond

Hello everyone,,
I was wondering what everyone's thoughts are on moving the Pythonista community over to reddit. It seems to me that a lot of Pythonista-related content is already there, and many Pythonista users are redditors anyway.

While it's nice to have full control over the forum, it's also quite a big liability, both in terms of keeping your data safe, and maintaining the server. I've spent several days unsuccessfully trying to migrate data (posts, users) from one version of NodeBB to another, and it's not pretty... There are also issues with the automated emailer that I'm unable to fix without upgrading to a newer version which turns out to be quite hard while keeping the data intact... :/ https://reversephonelookup.onl/ https://curated.onl/nba-reddit/

Anyway, as I'm pretty new to reddit (at least, I've never had a user account before), I might be overlooking some downsides, so I'm looking for input from the forum – are you already using reddit? Would you welcome a change? Do you absolutely hate it for whatever reason? Let me know. :)

Not a fan of that idea. The Slack channel and this forum are quite helpful and well targeted. I find that Reddit has a troll factor that I would be interested in avoiding.
