Hi, I’ve been becoming familiar with the discourse community. I am considering setting up discourse for two completely different communities.

Hi Michael, thanks for sharing this helpful post. I will again refer to it after I get my own discourse up and running. What I was asking (sorry if I was not clear) is why discourse itself does not use Matomo on disccourse.org itself, instead of google analytics. That is why I asked this question i…

But google analytics is forced on everyone who does not actively defend against it on this website, discourse.org That was my concern as a new user and why I posted in meta…

I suspect you’re right. I didn’t understand either until your latest post. [immagine] codinghorror: Perhaps not as many people care about this issue as you do? This probably still applies. Many people don’t care (me for instance) and those that do are free to protect themselves as you have. …
