| Jan 24, 2024 at 22:01 | comment | added | Berthold StaffMod | @KevinB Regarding the left menu, the Labs section will be moving to be above the Collectives section, as part of this upcoming update. So potentially easier for some to access, though that nav's configuration can vary. | |

| Jan 24, 2024 at 21:00 | comment | added | Berthold StaffMod | @KevinB The entry points are within the five collectives and the link on the left navigation. We are not prompting/suggesting Discussions during the question creation flow. We've purposely steered clear of crossing into Q&A because, as you suggest, additional guidance would be needed to help users know what to do. It's hard to determine the route some of the users took in order to create their Discussions posts. | |
| Jan 24, 2024 at 20:51 | comment | added | Berthold StaffMod | @KevinB Great questions. As Thomas observed, the meaning of votes in Discussions is still hazy. We can probably assume that upvote = "I like this". Many downvotes may be users treating the post like they would a question and applying those norms and standards, even if those shouldn't necessarily apply.

I’m wondering if at least some of the downvotes on discussions are “this is a bad SO question” downvotes instead of “this is a bad discussion” downvotes. Given the distinct form and function of discussions, we’d expect motivations for voting one or way or another to differ as well. | |
