dansupAnyone building a federated Stack Overflow?
Commander William of GrungeWorks@dansup hmm...someone probably should though and one that doesn't do that B.S. "you can't post an answer unless you're one of the cool kids with enough points." thing
congusbongusgames@caranmegil @dansup iirc anyone can post answers even with 0 rep. Other actions require some rep like voting and commenting
@congusbongus @dansup eh. it was some sort of broken system. i remember, i posted a question, some tech bro called me names, and gave me a negative enough rating where i never recovered mostly due to lack of interest. let them have that platform!
Hobson Lane@caranmegil
Same thing happened to me, and i licked my wounds and came back later with better answers that others could appreciate and started to enjoy it. But for some stackexchanges (legal advice) what happened to you happened to me, there are gatekeepers that have #enxittified the comments by negatively SEOing (making sure your answers and comments are pushed below the fold) if your questions, comments or answers challenge elites or bigtech.

⁂ Fish Id Wardrobe@caranmegil @dansup @congusbongus Yes. The problem with both SO and Wikipedia is that moderators become "little hitlers". I suppose federation would solve that? Maybe?
@congusbongus
Exactly. The algorithms for managing user contributions were pretty good, but the algorithms for managing moderators (people with lots of points) could be improved.

Len@caranmegil that isn't how SO works, though. They do close questions that have already been asked, though, which I think a lot of people don't expect.
