> Random idea: replace the terminology of "duplicate" questions with "similar" questions. This is not at all a bad thought, and it's a perfect example of something that Stack (company) could have tried to actually address complaints rather than just papering over them and telling users they're too mean. Addressing the actual UX issues would do far more to improve interactions than just policing language. Unfortunately, we've gone around the sun many times with plenty of smart proposals like this simply being ignored by the company.
