Yes. The community died many years ago. The company itself died a few years ago selling out. The value of StackOverflow is dying as we speak. The original value was in the community. Sadly the system of moderation was not self correcting enough to change with time. No amount of democracy can solve the toxicity without new people in those positions of power. When people quote the community as being "toxic", you usually look to a number of rotten apples. https://stackoverflow.blog/2020/01/22/the-loop-2-understandi... Like what's famous at DARPA, there are short tenures to positions of power. StackOverflow could've adopted a similar model for their product and moderation teams(including community ones) to bring in regular positive change. The technical talent was already top-tier and created one hell of a marvel of infrastructure excellence. https://www.darpa.mil/about-us/what-darpa-does |
