@mata_aimasho Why, I'm glad you asked! If you push the ‘Watch’ button you will be following the activity of the repository (merge/pull requests and issues, but not commits or stuff like that, I think).

The 'Star' button is just a way to measure popularity.

@josemanuel@qoto.org I see.

Probably like GitHub then.

I thought you thought you were doing something tragic with the "watch" button.

@mata_aimasho No, I just didn't know what each of them did, so I used to push both with the idea of following the repository's activity.

@josemanuel@qoto.org OK, then at the very least you knew you were risking people's lives and took an informed risk.

(joke)

Did you willingly leave any star after that?

@mata_aimasho Yes, there are repositories I genuinely like.

By the way, following other people is a (hopefully _the_) feature whose purpose I still don't understand.

@josemanuel@qoto.org You can't see it, but i reacted with a star.
