All of this seems to be some weird Meta bubble that doesn't affect or concern regular users in the slightest.
What users care about is not getting downvoted for reasonable questions, not seeing everything closed as duplicate even though the other answer is 10 years old and contains only/mostly outdated and bad answers, ...
This is what is is actually hurting SO.
- thinkingemote 7y agoThe things you describe are all things that volunteer moderators affect. Do you think that moderators just chat on meta? That users do not know about how moderators work doesnt mean that they do not work. Remove the moderators, or downgrade them to some automated process and the user experience will change. Moderators do not only talk on meta with each other.

- the_duke 7y agoI'd argue that people should stop providing volunteer labor to a for-profit company. If SO wants more control over moderation practices, it should start paying moderators. Incidentally I also think that a better/smarter voting system combined with less moderation could be good for the platform (note: not no moderation) .
