The toxic reactions to [Wayback/Archive] What would be good alternatives to Stack Overflow for questions about software solutions to drive hardware? – Meta Stack Overflow were surely inviting to never ever try and help improving StackOverflow again.
Lesson learned: Stack Overflow won’t ever be the welcoming environment it was 15 years ago and the toxicity will make it slowly become obsolete.
Hopefully the smaller Stack Exchange sites will take a long while to go in that direction.
Via [Wayback/Archive] Jeroen Wiert Pluimers @wiert@mastodon.social on X: “The @StackOverflow toxicity: you start a discussion on meta to get better guidance for the community at large. – 13 downvotes & counting – a bunch of comments of which the majority is not helpful – no answers Deleting 429663. Never trying to help improving the situation again.”
