Someone posted a Worldbuilding proposal on the Codidact incubator. The topics allowed on such a site are very similar to the topics allowed on this site; for the most part Scientific Speculation i...
I once had a question Somewhere Else about an economic stipulation and how its imposition would affect the world. I didn't think it to be a good stipulation and expected to be skewered by answers p...
Do posts like (What would X Sport look like in space?) belong in this community? It has nothing to do with science, some physics at best, and even then, only to a certain degree.
Hey everyone, new user here, I've already seen a couple of people complaining that the name isn't accurate, or it doesn't represent what is asked here, is there a pool to vote on whether to change ...
We try to hammer these things out during the proposal phase; really we do... but in the last day or two we've seen some objections to the name "Speculative Science", and if we're going to change it...
I suggest alteration of the name from "Scientific Speculation" to a more appropriate "World, Speculation". Why? Most questions they seek to answer are somewhat based on science, but rarely take s...
I'm a little disappointed that How can Single Vision lenses slow myopia for adults too? was deemed off topic. Can anyone explain to me why? It is indeed science speculation, it should be on rigoro...
When we launched this community, we did not yet have the ability to set different reputation grants for different categories. We've had this for a while but we failed to follow up before now, sorr...
I feel like science fiction doesn't have many sports, other than the occasional laser battle or fantasy sword duel. I'd like to start a discussion series about sports in a low-gravity/no-gravity e...
This is based on a question in Writing about revitalising the community and is pretty much a blatant copy-paste of Monica's answer there. Essentially, it's been suggested that we remove all mass-i...
Codidact's communities have a lot of great content that is helping people on the Internet. Our communities are small, though, and sustainable communities depend on having lots of active, engaged p...
I took the tour and was told that questions about magic wouldn't find a place here. That's when I started looking around. There are 500+ tags, apparently not a single one of them has a summary...
A now-deleted question involved archaeology, linguistics, and history. There were some downvotes and critical comments, and the author deleted the question. I don't know whether the downvotes wer...
Two months ago the question was asked: Do we want to keep the [science-based] and [reality-check] tags?. A month ago the same user asked: Are there tags we should remove from all questions...
When we did the initial import from Worldbuilding SE, we also inherited the tag set from there. This leaves us with some tags which are (should be) redundant on Scientific Speculation. I primarily ...
Before launching the site, we had a discussion on Codidact Meta about naming the category we currently called "Researched Q&A". Other possibilities we explored included "Hard science", our sta...
