So now we need fedi-stackoverflow. Yo @dessalines@lemmy.ml any chance you guys have something in store? :)
Haha no, but we do have some things inside lemmy to make it better suited for question / answer communities, like the forum / new comments sort. But ya I'd be down to hear ideas on how to make lemmy better for that purpose.
The work you folks do is incredible. That said, the specialization of SO was quite unique: you need to ask questions to be able to answer them and you have to work your way up while being coached how to achieve it. I‘m sure you know that.
It keeps opinions at bay due to the strong focus on the context. Lemmy has a completely different purpose, more social, imo. Thats fine but it would need to be tailored to favor less answers in higher quality. Probably a reskin with a little added restrictions and logic? I can see how that would work.
Yeah this seem to be a nice direction to go in . You seem like a Dev who believes in their project and would rather better it than create a fuckton of alternatives for every single purpose and I do agree with the direction your going in and I hope you always stay in this direction and make Lemmy one of the powerhouse on social media front . I have great hopes for this project lol .
In that case we have nothing to fear I guess /s
For those born yesterday: Companies will always do company things. Shareholder value and studies showing that corporations act like psychopaths makes this clear.
Its not important that AI companies can read off of the fediverse but that they cant control the fediverse. As in „holding information ransom“ and „producing garbage ai/bot responses to push search results, etc.
Those who went through enshittification once should know. Those who went through it multuple times have to know that this is a one strike situation. If the owner of a proprietary platform goes this route, we need to look out.
Have a good one.
