Meta: please don't delete your posts if you later thought that the idea has "failed"
Recently there was a post where the OP pitched an idea for a service related to this community. I don't want to go into details but the post's text has shown that maybe there's some misunderstanding around the technology, and a considerable amount of us also thought that it's not a good idea.
The post was removed (noticed because I couldn't reply to someone) probably because the OP felt shame for their "failed" idea, but I think we shouldn't delete posts for reasons like this.
The post created an interesting discussion around the idea with useful info. It's useful to have things like these for future reference, for similar discussions in the future.
This is an anonymous forum, so there's no shame in recommending things, when you do that politely like it was done in that case.
You're viewing a single thread.
Its not anonymous. Its pseudonymous.
Even if your pseudonym isn't directly linked to you, even if you are not doxxed, your pseudonym carries its own reputation.
Its up to the pseudonym operator to determine how to manage that.
for some of us it's not even that pseudonymous.
Precisely my thought. OP should be ashamed and delete this thread ;P
