Is phase two implementing AI to close issues, mark them as duplicate, and add a snarky comment?

That would save a lot of time…

The toxicity automator, it will even begin making stupid questions itself to respond angrily to

Yeah. It’ll be a huge time saver. I understand they think they can have it having whole technology holy wars with itself soon, while the rest of us relax.

The new Stack Overflow will be one built to feel like a personalized homepage—your own technical aggregator. It might collect videos, blogs, Q&A, war stories, jokes, educational materials, jobs, all these formats (or maybe others, we would love to hear your ideas!), and fold them together into one personalized destination. We want this place to be your “third screen”—your entry point to your own neighborhood on the internet.

The only thing they have ever done well is host a Q&A board and incubate niche communities.

Then they stopped doing that well.

Eh they had their chance to fix the moderation issues. It’s been a good run but I think this is the beginning of the end.

Hopefully whatever replaces them won’t make the same mistakes.

reaching for that stack overflow

I’m skeptical. We’ll see how they implement it, and whether they can gain enough contributors for it to be useful.

They are trying to be old Reddit? I don’t think there is the demand.

Too many competing services, they don’t have anything that distinguishes themselves, and also took a reputation hit. And many super users there left over mismanagement.

Too many hurdles if good management, and their management sucks

Edit: the only thing that gives them value is their old pages; a makeover would at minimum, hamper that I think
