Yes, people have gotten so mean. Even well researched questions are often downvoted within minutes. The whole moderation fiasko is just mirroring Wikipedia's decline.
- selfhoster11 5y agoWikipedia's decline? It still has no viable competitor whatsoever, and certainly not one that's open for reading to all. It's not going away for a long time, and maybe not ever.
- oezi 5y agoDecline in being an inclusive community where a wide range of people contribute rather than a semi-professionell league of gate-keeping white old men. The internet just leads to new monopolies of the mind where "The winner takes it all". Wikipedia would deserve a competitor but there is 0% chance for one any time soon. Same holds for SO.
