Yeah I've heard about it for at least 10+ years and actually had to install this once for a client ha ha. Wondering why it's trending now.

We tend to forget that many many millions of people are born every year, and there are always people who genuinely get to hear about a well-known thing for the first time every time it's mentioned.

While this is true, my hope is always that these kind of posts will spark meaningful discussion or be relevant to the current tech meta / zeitgeist.

This thread is 50% "this software is garbage" and 5p% "why was this posted here".

Seems a low hanging fruit for the scythe of moderation to me.

The post itself with no further context about what the OP wants us to see about Moodle, is fodder for moderation.

It's not a new project, so if it's a TIL this is a thing, then post that, if its "Moodle releases x.0" then post that. The focus of the page seems to be mostly on an upcoming conference in Europe, is that what the OP wants us to see? I'm clicking on it wondering if there's something new to see?
