From back in the day when Stack Overflow was fun.
- Aeolun 3y agoHmm, I recently thought it would be a great idea to answer a question on SO again, and did that by first posting a link. Then I realized how useless that would be if the link disappeared, so I clicked edit and pasted the actual info. All this took like 20 seconds, but the hounds had already descended. Someone had posted a note on an answer that was literally 20 seconds old saying that it could be improved. When I responded with an offended comment they deleted all their comments, and I lost the ability to report them. That was the first, and also the last time in the past 4 years I thought to post anything there.

- User3456335 3y agoYou wanted to report them for asking you to do the thing that you also thought had to be done? What would you even report them for? Giving valid criticism? Responding quickly?
- Aeolun 3y agoThere is something like malicious compliance. And just being mean spirited in general.
- nullhole 3y agoHi lolinder, welcome to HackerNews. Your comment implies that Stack Overflow isn't currently fun. You are of course well within your rights to make that assertion. However, I find that your comment may be improved by removing any implication that Stack Overflow isn't fun. So I invite you to explain your reasons and maybe consider future improving edits to your post.

- Waterluvian 3y agoThis is almost too polite to be Stack Exchange satire.
- kkoncevicius 3y agoNowadays it seems like every other comment on Stack Exchange is full of forced and phony politeness. That's in their rules too.
- CRConrad 3y agoA bit like HN in that regard.
- Vicinity9635 3y agoI feel like a lot of commenters here mistake passive-aggression for politness.
- Waterluvian 3y agoWell I guess some of us just have a higher tolerance for passive-aggression. … ;)
- exikyut 3y agoComments are not for extended discussion; this conversation has been [moved to chat].
- fenomas 3y agoHere is a comment that must be helpful because it got upvoted, but it's impossible to understand because the sibling comment it replies to is hidden somewhere at the bottom of the comment list.
- matheusmoreira 3y agoI miss those days. I tried to go back there now and discovered things had escalated up to Wikipedia tier deletionism.
