Hello, We’re currently in the trenches of DSA compliance. Part of this involves looking at our use of Discourse, as our discussion board qualifies as an “online platform” under the DSA.

Hey—thanks for your questions. I admit that I was not aware of the new standardised reporting—we are still using Digital Services Act 2025 (DSA) Transparency Report | Discourse - Civilized Discussion . I did some digging and it does look like we are in scope to use this horrific template. Let me do …

Thanks for your reply Hawk, and apologies for the bombshell RE: the standardised template - we’re all in this together! :saluting_face:

Can you share a link to your current public DSA report?

I hope you don’t mind, but I’d prefer not to publicly identify my employer from this account. We haven’t yet published a report using the new standardised template, which is what prompted this. :slight_smile:

That’s fine, it just makes it a bit harder to help because I don’t know where you are starting from. Theoretically you have a well developed report already (like ours) so I wondered specifically what gaps you have outside of the submission of reasons.

Update for you @Jay-C —we are spec’ing out the work required to add additional data fields for the machine readable report and for submissions to the SOR database. We will update in due course.
