StackExchange has been going downhill since late 2019. A significant number of power users (moderators) have left and the writing has been on the wall for a number of years.

- throwaway290 3y agoMost StackExchange sites are niche and just get fewer users naturally because topics are covered by other forums. I'm a power user on SO with some moderation capabilities. There's no mods per se I think just people who have different functions enabled to them (editing questions, closing, review etc). Admittedly I don't moderate it much (never did) I still use it daily as a lazy reference. Haven't noticed any decline apart from it having covered all topics so there's mostly nothing new left to ask. Which is the best thing that can happen to Q&A site
- TRiG_Ireland 3y agoThere are definitely actual moderators on the Stack Exchange sites.
