When a bug tracker is inside the exclusive walled-gardens of MS Github or
Gitlab.com, and you cannot or will not enter, where do you file your bug report? Here, of course. This is a refuge where you can report bugs that are otherwise unreportable due to technical or ethical constraints.
Would it not be better if you can make a post on Sopuli without making an account?
That’s a great thing about stackoverflow - I can just answer another human’s question without going through a 5 minute interrogation from a robot.
I’d rather have people make an account, it wouldn’t bring spammers or other unwanted people here. The Lemmy devs seem to have no intention to implement “guest users” for the platform anyways and that’s good.
It’s a trade off. Much more people will get involved. But you risk spammers. If it were me, i would allow it editing without an account, but if there is a problem i can always change it and delete the content made without an account.
Imo it’s no coincidence that the most valuable sites, Wikipedia and stackoverflow, both allow editing without signing in.
But sopuli sounds like a special case where the while point is to avoid having to make an account.
Do you get a reCaptcha when trying to log into the Fedeproxy Discourse forum? Or when creating an account on Sopuli? The latter is not needed. I posted to the Community with my lemmy.ml account (by searching for the Sopuli community URL in the search bar and then joining).
