I post del blog sarebbero più belli se fossero scritti

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:

  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) 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!

Great idea! I wonder, is it possible with Embed Discourse comments on another website via Javascript?

I don’t think it’s easy, and you can tell who the author is if you click the link to the blog. Maybe if you want to know who wrote it, you just have to make one more click. :person_shrugging:

Looks like the change from individual users to using the Discourse user happened about a year ago.

Blog topics created 1 year ago ordered by create date In this list, currently only the newest topic is authored by Discourse; all the others show a user. I wonder why that changed.
