The article El estado de Stack Overflow en español: Enero 2017 was published on stackoverflow.blog but I didn't see it. If I didn't have this direct link to the article, how would I find it on the blog?

There's a link "All posts" in the upper right corner of the page. But it's not found there. A lie...

@zaq should've been displayed in the bulletin on es.so

The spanish-language blog feed

user315433

Aha! There's a /pt/ feed too. Both ru and ja exist but are empty.

user315433

Leaving language-specific things aside, it's not obvious how I was supposed to find stackoverflow.blog/feed

What, not picbot?

Sklivvz

I'd go for WoB first

Oded

Sklivvz

the potential to annoy is too great

Sklivvz

ah, yes: lack of editing is another

Journeyman Geek

I did request, indirectly "powered down" superpings at some point.

(To solve username collisions on chat.)

If you want comments on downvotes, do you want honest comments and, if so, how are you going to indemnify the commenters against getting flagged/suspended for being 'not nice'? If you don't wany honest comments, what class of lies do you suggest are used in place? — Martin James 2 hours ago
