Comment on The Fall of Stack Overflow

  For me the real problem with Stack Overflow, as someone who was one of the earliest users of the service, is when you ask a question now you don’t actually get a good answer anymore. Often your question just gets deleted by moderators.

  This. I recall that I posted some question over a framework and if it supported a feature, and the question was shut down because a moderator complained it lacked a minimum working example. Unreal.

  Do we have a community on lemmy to ask questions like stackoverflow?

    I think for specific platforms, like rust questions in the rust community.

  Ah. Feels similar to the relevance discussions on the German Wikipedia. Gatekeeping at its finest.
