i really question the wisdom of turning away people coming here with macOS/iOS-related questions. these forums are the best place for people to learn about pure swift, foundationless swift, server-side swift, etc. and we should really be encouraging the Apple frameworks people to get out of their comfort zone and break out of the Apple bubble instead of shooing them away. if people want to discuss Apple frameworks here instead of on the Apple forums, we should be encouraging that, because it will give them more exposure to swift on non-Apple platforms.
i get that it’s annoying for the forum to get cluttered with Apple framework-related topics. i’m not interested in those topics at all either, but this is fundamentally a forum implementation problem. the fact that the forum doesn’t have a better mechanism for sorting or grouping the topics here doesn’t mean that this site getting more visitors is a bad thing.
