I’ve noticed over the last wee while that the linked topics to blog posts have @Discourse as the ‘owner’, regardless of who authored the blog.

This somewhat impairs the community experience here on [meta.discourse.org](http://meta.discourse.org):

1. It feels less intimate

2. the author isn’t notified for replies

These make me far less likely to engage on those topics, and I suspect I’m not alone.

Of note, some original blog articles (such as [Behind the Scenes: Our 2025 Prague Meetup](http://blog.discourse.org/2025/10/behind-the-scenes-our-2025-prague-meetup)) are ‘authored’ by “The Discourse Team”. This is even more offputting!

One of the strengths of CDCK is that you are _not_ a bunch of faceless workers, but real people that fanboys like me can get to know.

To quote that blog post:

> This is a core part of the Discourse value system: that as a company and a culture, we believe in human connections. We’re dedicated to recreating those connections online

I’d encourage you to lean in to this more on the blog site and on meta!
