Moderation Strike: Stack Overflow, Inc. cannot consistently ignore, mistreat, and malign its volunteers
meta.stackoverflow.com
Note: as part of the strike organization, this post is a mirror of a post on MSE Introduction As of today, June 5th, 2023, a large number of moderators, curators, contributors, and users from around

Why you should know: StackOverflow is facing a mod strike in a similar way as Reddit’s mod strike. They are doing this in response to StackOverflow’s failure to address it’s promises and provide moderation tools

    But that is exactly the problem with the federated media… there is no one place to find something - there is thousands of places to find thousands of different things. You don’t get that one wonderful resource where you can come and expect that no matter how niche your question or hobby is you can always find someone who can relate or help you… you are left wandering from place to place searching, always wondering if there is the right community for you somewhere or perhaps you should just start a new one.

      Huh?

      Eventually one community becomes the “main” one.

      Maybe the best one about world news is on one instance, the one for your fav show on another, and the one about your fav band on a third.

      You don’t need to make an account on all three instances.

      There’s a bunch of them now, because people have coalesced around one yet.
