I finally discovered what the Watch and Star buttons do in Codeberg and now I'm unstarring a lot of repositories.
@josemanuel@qoto.org what do they do
@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.
