I was active on the Erlang stackoverflow.

I left because stackoverflow is not a community, I don't give a crap about the gamification, the incorrect answers most upvoted because they provide a quickfix rather than a proper fix, and I'd rather go in places where you can have an actual discussion when you need to re-frame problems since newcomers aren't generally used to the paradigms of the VM and OTP.

Stackoverflow felt like working for free just spending time answering things for imaginary points whereas other fora have more reciprocity available through richer dynamics that can help build communities.

Stackoverflow, to me, is a last resort more than anything else.
