Well, lists do make good bookmarks, and people tend to favorite things they want to look at later, so your comment and mine are quite compatible.

My concern is thread quality. Lists of "resources about X" don't have anything really to discuss beyond "X in general", and maybe supplying links that didn't make the list. That's not, in the general case, enough to support a curious conversation—when it comes to forum threads, "generic" implies "shallow" and "repetitive".

In this case the thread wasn't so bad, probably because CRDTs aren't in the most-discussed-topic set [1]. So as a generic submission it's better than, say, a list of Rust resources or something [2]. Still, we have to derive moderation principles for the general case, and this principle (about lists) is surprisingly reliable and solid.
