IME the problem is that the criteria for "dupe" is way too low. Like, I start with a question asking how to do X in .NET8, which is what I am trying to answer.

IME the problem is that the criteria for "dupe" is way too low. Like, I start with a question asking how to do X in .NET8, which is what I am trying to answer. But it's closed as a dupe of something else that answers the "same" question for .NET framework 4.5, an API that was deprecated 10 years ago. Part of this might be Microsoft's awful naming choices, but some is also Stack Overflows obsession with no dupes.
