Man, the design of this is so unpolished that I actually find it a bit stressful to look at. The lack of grid adherence, the strange hierarchy of font sizes, it doesn't seem up to Github's normal high standards of clean and sensible design choices. But then I guess it's new and they'll refine it.

If you're a pessimist like me you've kept a mental list of demerits (like this weird forum) that add up to a picture of a slowly dying platform. Join mine instead and postpone the cold grip of death!
I really dislike it when companies use a new extension like "github.community" instead of a subdomain like "community.github.com" because there is no real way to know if the site is a phishing attempt or not. Getting people used to accept going to another site seems very bad for security. Especially when there are already domains like http://github.co (notice the .CO instead of .COM) that don't belong to the trademar…
My immediate thought is that they did this for browser security reasons, like how they use github.io for Github Pages.

Ehhhh, so, like. GitHub is big on open source stuff, supposedly. Love that they went with lithium stuff instead of some of the more open source solutions that could've used the manpower from GitHub.
Interestingly, one of the "new subcommunities" (linked in the footer) seems to be Discourse: https://education.github.community/ And the Atom discussion area is too (but that's been up for a while): https://discuss.atom.io/
I wonder what was their experience with Discourse like.
I'll take this as an opportunity to shill my GitHub replacement: https://meta.sr.ht/ If you're a pessimist like me you've kept a mental list of demerits (like this weird forum) that add up to a picture of a slowly dying platform. Join mine instead and postpone the cold grip of death!

Who would win? The biggest "social network" for developers OR a platform by some random dude on the internet?
Earlier quoted context omitted.
github.community isn't. It sends you to github.com regardless, since their login is there. github.com sees you're already logged in, and redirects back, passing auth.
That suggests it’s bypassing OAuth—with OAuth you’d get a “GitHub Community wants access to X, Y and Z” interstitial.
