Racist survey on StackOverflow is not for discussion
- exebook 5y agoI just realized SO was sold to some random investment fund in June and the corporate speak is now on Meta and Blog. I used to love theirs startup culture. I wish it was sold to a tech giant instead. Tech giants may have their problems but at least the are not speaking this way and I can relate to what they are doing.
- bediger4000 5y agoWhat happens when (not if) the big investment fund dumbs-down all the forums? Can we delete our accounts? Do all the answers go away?
- exebook 5y agoThe new lead is not talking this language instead they talk about tremendous excitement, massive scale, global opportunities, rapid expansion, next phase of growth and strategic priorities.
- exebook 5y agoI have enough rep on SO to see the close comment, but many people probably are not able to see this. Not sure what to do about it, copying it here may be not OK and discussing something that seems hidden is awkward. I basically was just offended by the wording of the close comment, it was like shut up we know better, comments are not for the discussion. Maybe I'm just reading it wrong.
- pwdisswordfish9 5y agoWhat close comment? You don’t mean the deleted answer, do you?
- exebook 5y agoYes I meant the deleted and downvoted answer, it was obviously written by the person who have closed the topic. Sorry for the mistake.
- pwdisswordfish9 5y agoWhat are you talking about? The question is still nominally open (even if comments are disabled), and that person is not even a moderator.
- gs17 5y ago>Not sure what to do about it, copying it here may be not OK Aren't all SO contributions CC-BY-SA? I doubt the original author even cares that much.
