Hi Folks, Just wondering, where does Discourse stand on GDPR compliance right now? Do we have a convenient way to respond to either A. Right to be Forgotten Requests, or B. Request for a dump of all user data I searched up a bit and found some people suggesting a button to delete all a user’s data (unfortunately, anonymizing an account does not respond fully to a Right to be Forgotten Request, imo) - but no resolution - and nothing about a user data dump. A particularly clever troll on the ...| Discourse Meta

I am happy to announce a new spam detection module in Discourse AI 🎊 Over the past few months, we have sadly noticed that Akismet’s performance has been quite uneven.

For those self-hosting or generally looking for a “free” way of using these tools, have a look at OpenRouter. There are quite a f...| Discourse Meta

We have been using Discourse as the main tool for communication, record keeping, research documenting, lab journaling tool for over 4 years. I will argue that most companies would greatly benefit from having Discourse as their main communication tool rather than Slack & email chains & WhatsApp. It boils down to this: If you believe there is any value in the conversations between employees for future reflection then you need Discourse. The simple reason is that channel based instant messaging ...| Discourse Meta
We have been using Discourse exclusively for our internal communication for 8 years. Discourse has replaced our numerous mailing lists and has also replaced almost 90% of our internal mail traffic. We come from the event sector. We have moved our organization-wide knowledebase to Discourse. Mainly external mail communication, Excel, calendar and file sharing is realized via other Open-Source apps. I never tire of recommending Discourse to every organization for internal communication. Only in...| Discourse Meta
I was looking at our forum in ahrefs which reports on “AI Citations” and saw this: I checked in my settings and found this: Does anyone in here have experience with this? Does throttling the bots mean they don’t index the forum at all? Has anyone removed throttling that can speak to the impact on resources and AI citations? Thanks.| Discourse Meta

After trying to follow the instructions here with both OpenAI and OpenRouter providers, I finally got it to work by disabling streaming. With OpenRouter, I was able to run a test with the Run test button in the LLM manual config screen for an gpt-4o. But running the test for perplexity/sonar-deep-research resulted in a 502 error and the following output in the console. It took quite a long time for this error to appear (~30 seconds or something) whereas testing other models returns immediatel...| Discourse Meta
There are several tricks that can help when you are setting up a staging server. What is a staging server? A staging server is essentially a clone of a production site. It also resides on a server, and functions identically. It runs inside a Docker container, just as a normal Discourse site does. It exists to give you a place to try risky things out, or to trial things that you cannot easily hide from your users. It is very useful for trialling adverts using the Discourse Advertising Plugin (...| Discourse Meta
