Hard to imagine a signal that a website is a rugpull more intense than banning users for trying to delete their own posts

Like just incredible "burning the future to power the present" energy here

Stack Overflow bans users en masse for rebelling against OpenAI partnership — users banned for deleting answers to prevent them being used to train ChatGPT

Stack Overflow is overflowing with salt.

@mcc So developers will stop sharing information on #StackOverflow and future #Copilot and friends will be forever stuck in the past, answering questions about historically relevant frameworks and languages.

@chris Yeah. But for this to be true, we need a Stack Overflow replacement. And when Reddit went evil, the move to Lemmy doesn't seem to have succeeded as well as the move from Twitter to Mastodon.

@mcc @chris

Or the move from SlashDot to SoylentNews.

Simplest way: If you see a service that has hints of this, warn your friends, and, get a large bucket of popcorn.

@BillySmith @chris Don't look at me. I was part of the exodus from SlashDot to Kuro5hin. Which I thought actually went pretty well actually
@mcc @BillySmith Good times. Though the husk of slashdot is still around but Kuro5hin is not :-/
@chris @BillySmith Yes, which is real unfortunate because some of my best writing is now offline !!! :(
@mcc @BillySmith This is really sad, I’m sorry.
It shows again that information can only persist if it is copied and spread.
That’s why publishing on corporate platform, exclusively is such a bad idea. Just imagine youtube would really successfully lock ‘their’ content away one day.

@BillySmith @mcc On top of storing a lot of text over the years I’ve been downloading most videos I consider exceptional for a while. I tried to extend this to everything that I read/watched using tools like https://archivebox.io but this still a crutch because it will only be archived for myself. To me something like peertube looks very interesting as a concept.
ArchiveBox

The open-source self-hosted web archive

@chris @mcc

I've done the same.

When i looked at the streaming approach, i could see the future enshittification.

Peertube is great. :D
