That was a disappointing read.
While I tentatively agree with their stance on “AI”, I expected this to be a protest to change the toxic culture over at SO.
Which includes, but is not exclusive to, the whole “this is a duplicate of <insert question from a decade ago about a completely irrelevant thing and that has become irrelevant even within its respective topic>”, the whole karma based politics and other toxic behavior.
But I guess that’s like expecting congressmen to vote against insider trading by congressmen.
I mean good for them, because platforms these days are exploiting free labor and then completely disregarding the people that provide value to the platform, but also, guys you’ve got some serious other issues that are holding back the quality of the community.
