Stack Overflow has really forgotten how to engage with the community and especially so with the community of moderators. These moderators are not getting paid. It is a huge amount of volunteer effort they put as hobby. SO should express a lot of gratitude for these moderators who keep SO in sane condition. But SO has been bringing one policy change after another without getting the full support of this community. I think it started with CoC changes that required everyone to become overly polite which many users and moderators did not really agree with. The recent debate on gendered pronouns has frankly been a real mess done in haste and without transparency. If SO does not fix their ways of engaging with the community, I am afraid more and more moderators are going to leave this place.
