| Sep 8, 2018 at 4:56 | comment | added | Martin Sleziak | I have asked whether it is possible to change the text per site or only network-wide, but so far no answer: What happened to “depends on everyone sharing their knowledge” message? Can this be changed on per-site basis? | |

| May 12, 2018 at 3:14 | comment | added | Joël | @MartinSleziak Removing the text, specifically on MathOverflow. | |
| Apr 15, 2018 at 8:45 | comment | added | Martin Sleziak | Probably it might be useful to say what exactly is the suggested feature request. (Simply removing the text? Replacing it by some other formulation?) And, more importantly, whether it is change proposed specifically for MathOverflow or for the whole Stack Exchange Network. (If it is intended for the whole network, then after collecting some feedback here it would be reasonable to ask this on the network-wide meta.) | |

added clarification - to avoid potential confusion if somebody reads this post and then does not see the corresponding message under a post on the main site

The tag (site-promotion) seems to be closest to the topic "social networks" from the currently existing tags on meta. Of course, if you think it does not fit here, feel free to revert my edit.

| Jan 22, 2017 at 21:55 | comment | added | Todd Trimble Mod | I removed some comments that touched upon the US presidential election, which is off-topic. | |
| Jan 10, 2017 at 17:59 | comment | added | Federico Poloni | I see the new version on Firefox and the old one on Chrome. Someone is A/B testing on us, I guess. | |
| Jan 10, 2017 at 1:52 | comment | added | Joël | @Martin. Interesting. I think the change is a clear progress. I have nothing against Facebook or Twitter (though "where is my flying car?") personally, but if they get a quasi-monopole on the diffusion of news and even of interpersonal communications on the internet (replacing ordinary email), this gives a few people an extraordinary power of censorship. | |
| Jan 9, 2017 at 15:14 | comment | added | Martin Sleziak | A more experienced user told me in chat about this post: What is this “Can you help?” message above the answer box? It seems that a new version of the message you mention is being tested and it has the form: "Can you help? MathOveflow depends on everyone sharing their knowledge. If you're able to answer this question, please do!" So if mentioning twitter is for some reason considered problematic, this change would more-or-less resolve it. Interestingly, I now see the new version on MO (except for my own questions, as explained in the link). | |
| Jan 9, 2017 at 11:00 | comment | added | Martin Sleziak | Maybe some 25k+ user who has access to site analytics could have a look how much traffic is actually generated from reddit, facebook, twitter, google+ and similar sources. (I suppose in the context of this question it might be interesting to know these data.) | |
| Jan 9, 2017 at 4:58 | comment | added | Martin Sleziak | In case some other users checked the main site and they are wondering why they do not see the message you described, this only appears on open questions with no answers: Under what conditions is a user invited to “share a link to this question”? | |
| Jan 9, 2017 at 4:50 | comment | added | Martin Sleziak | Perhaps it is worth pointing out that several regular MO users quite often post links to MO posts on twitter. For example, Andrés E. Caicedo or Joel David Hamkins. | |
| Jan 9, 2017 at 4:46 | comment | added | Martin Sleziak | This answer suggests using social media to promote good contents. This discussion is also marginally related: Does Mathoverflow really want the 'Publicist' badge? | |

| Jan 8, 2017 at 23:50 | comment | added | Todd Trimble Mod | I think it's just meant so as to reach experts who happen not to tune in to MO but tune into other networks. Not to encourage people to use them per se. (Sheesh, I'd be the last to encourage people to use Twitter.) | |
