Comments on React feature guidelines?

React feature guidelines?

+3
−0

I think we should try to come up with some consensus regarding how to use the new reactions feature, more specifically the "outdated" and "dangerous" options. Which kind of posts should these be used on?

Otherwise, I can see how these quickly turn subjective without some community consensus or guidelines. There are a lot of old things that could very subjectively and arguably be classified as "outdated". Though there may be perfectly valid reasons why they are the correct choice: price & availability, EMC, tool costs and so on.

For example, if it was up to me personally, I would for example flag any solution using 8-bit microcontrollers as completely outdated - which I realize is quite controversial and something that would immediately spark some off-topic 8-bit vs 32-bit debate in comments.

I will say that "Outdated" and "Dangerous" is better for the community. I am thinking how to mark as helpful.

Outdated : You had explained
Dangerous : Actually, we know that there might be some worst idea in electrical things. Like as using 400 Volt for 3 AMP motor (my example might be wrong but I don't have much more idea of electrical things for now. Even I had seen some kind of "blast" with this example ~but I don't remember accurate number.)

Why would 8 bit microcontroller solutions be outdated? There are still enough 8 bit controllers out there, so I see no reason why solutions for 8 bit controllers would be marked as outdated

I don't have any idea if that's outdated but the OP knows more than me hence I am leaving the question to him... And outdated actually doesn't mean it won't work anymore. Outdated means new features won't work properly sometimes something might crash either. That's what "Outdated" represent.
