This looks really cool. A sweet spot for certain kinds of questions that people abuse Issues for, but never felt right. Very important things like "what is the best practice for X" or "I have this problem but haven't yet isolated the cause, can anyone help?".

This is quite some timing for me, since the StackOverflow announcement earlier today had me thinking what could replace it. This is a clear, promising possibility.

What announcement? Are they planning to sunset something? All I could find was this blog post from the CEO, which was overly positive: https://stackoverflow.blog/2020/07/28/ceo-quarterly-blog-pos...

Overly positive is right - it smelled like BS to me. But perhaps I'm too cynical.

Codidact is slowly growing (as in, taking over communities that have been stranded on SO after the moderator hiatus that SO brought upon themselves).

But is there any karma to be gained?

Honestly good point, they'll probably need to build a system for that and it could get tricky!
