Comment Comment by dugmartin Somewhat related question that I'm interested in knowing people's thoughts on...If you have a website that contains user generated content aimed at technical folks what looks nicer (and maybe what are some more options?):1. GitHub's implicit username: https://github.com/foo2. Medium's @username: https://medium.com/@foo3. Old style homedir (eg tildeverse): http://tilde.club/~foo4. Explicit user folder: https://example.com/users/fooMy preference is not to use implicit usernames since you then would need to filter against a blocklist (something like https://github.com/marteinn/The-Big-Username-Blocklist). Anybody have any opinions? parent dugmartin 4 years ago
If you have a website that contains user generated content aimed at technical folks what looks nicer (and maybe what are some more options?):
1. GitHub's implicit username: https://github.com/foo
2. Medium's @username: https://medium.com/@foo
3. Old style homedir (eg tildeverse): http://tilde.club/~foo
4. Explicit user folder: https://example.com/users/foo
My preference is not to use implicit usernames since you then would need to filter against a blocklist (something like https://github.com/marteinn/The-Big-Username-Blocklist). Anybody have any opinions?
