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.

@chris @mcc TBH SO has felt a little stuck in the past even before this. Seems like the answers I find are quite old and don't accurately reflect the state of the art. I find many answers that use deprecated features of APIs, frameworks, etc.
