Letting corporations "disrupt" forums was a mistake.
Stack Overflow was great when it appeared. The info was spread out incredibly wide and there was a lot of really shitty info as well. One place where it could accumulate and be rated was extremely helpful.
But maybe it's time to create a federated open source Stack Overflow.
They also committed to providing open dumps of their data to make it free to all. At the start, they were doing all the right things.

So they pulled a "reddit"?
These companies don't realise their most engaged users generate a disproportionate amount of their content.
They will just go to their own spaces.
I think this a good thing in the long run, the internet will become decentralised again.
