10/25/2022, 3:36 PMIt occurs to me that now we're using discussions, the line between "is this a blog post" or "is this a discussion" is blurier. Anyone wanna help me crisp it?
I have 2 ideas I'd love to blog about, but nothing stopping me from just making a discussion. Discussion seems less "hey look at me" though 🤔

10/25/2022, 3:46 PMI guess "discuss" is the key word. A blog is less about community members weighing in on how to do something. It's more explaining something cool happening in Pantsbuild, with ancillary discussion in e.g. Reddit

10/25/2022, 4:19 PMYep, we have commenting disabled on the blog so if one needs feedback a blog post would be a poor choice. Whereas blog post is good for promoting something that is considered reasonably complete (small is fine). The biggest use case we're envisioning right now for Discussions is (a) user support and (b) increasing transparency/retainability on development decisions.
