I am a little tired of the idea that "tech" is something extraordinary. Capitalists in a capitalist society will do all evil to fulfill their goal, t3ch or no tech. You could use the same sentence in everything in this society. Even: "... and how green energy always serves the ruling class."

Reducing someone to a number has never backfired in a revolutionary way. Just ask prisoner 24601
I thought the exact same thing and we should all endeavor to use 4616250 as a meme.
In this century, there could never be an Anne Frank. Thank social networks.
I had 40k points on SO though I no longer contribute. Stackexchange is basically dead because it's a for-profit with very poor direction and LLMs basically made the entire thing obsolete relative to the monetary growths it needs to be sustainable. Understandably they can't attract any attention like this as they're 🤏 from going under.
I feel a bit sad for stackexchange but they are stuck between a rock and a hard place. I think stackexchange has their days numbered tho so this is realy not all that relevant. Give them a year or two tops
It's sad because Stack Exchange came out because Experts Exchange sucked. And now they also suck.
In the day of AI, will we ever have a new alternative?

perhaps we'll see a resurgence of value added platforms that ensure it's all human generated information. not an easy problem but... if there's demand
Yeah I doubt it tbh. I loved my time with stackoverflow and it landed me jobs and friends but I'm quite bullish when it comes IT and AI. It's not replacing devs yet but definitely replacing q&a, debugging tools, code reviews etc already/soon.
I hope we'll have some open social coding experience like SO but trends seem to point towards more private stuff like coaching, bookcamps, shitty discord servers etc. as that's the only thing that can be funded sustainably.
I'm Spartacus!
Nothing will meaningfully improve until the rich fear for their lives
“Trickle down economics only occurs when the wealthy bleed.”
Similar, and appropriate. The working class will only benefit once the wealthy are no longer wealthy.
Stack being weird and toxic I'm shocked, shocked I tell you
Lol @ the "Ross Ulbrecht requested that we keep his username" bullshit.
Oh ok, guys, nevermind. It's not a big deal because the criminal requested that we keep their username...
Assigning to a number like they do prisoners.
Disgusting behaviour from Stack Overflow and the perpetrators.

As of yet, Stack Exchange has not replied to the above post, but they did promptly and within hours gave me a year-long ban for merely raising the question.
Laws mean nothing anymore. Therefore licenses mean nothing. Therefore ownership means nothing, and "theft" no longer exists.
Therefore ownership means nothing, and “theft” no longer exists.
WOAH WOAH WOAH... hold on there Circuitfarmer (checks clipboard) It says here you're not nearly affluent enough to circumvent the law... we'll be keeping a close eye on you... --BB
I managed to convince my brother in law by using the wrongful death case of Kanokporn Tangsuan as an example. Framed it as his moral responsibility to never sign up for any digital media ever again since he has a family. I pointed him to a few resources to sail the high seas and he's got his high seas pc hooked up to his TV and cancelled all his subscriptions. I'm so proud.

“No wars but class wars” as true today as when Trotsky said it many decades ago. Not sure how anyone cannot see this very, very clear fact, made self evident by the treatment of Luigi and the composition of the upcoming administration and its supporters.
But every other commoner that sees it needs to take according measures.
Culture is not our friend.
Apropos of nothing, this was an article about substance from a year ago:
Substack faces user revolt over anti-censorship stance on neo-Nazis
Fuck substack.
Shit, this article is about stack overflow, not substack. Too early, but still fuck substack.
"Censorship forced me to flee a pro-nazi site to another pro-nazi site," is a contradiction worth noting. It highlights the general pro-nazi vibe going around big tech.
The internet just isn’t fun anymore. Right wing bigots are stomping around and the best communities are all either crumbling or raising their bridges and filling their motes so AI can’t scrape them and these asshats can’t get in, killing the ability for new people to find them. And who can blame them? They want to protect their communities from very real threats.
The internet is Balkanizing and it’s to our collective detriment.

By this logic, everyone charged (not convicted, just charged) should have their accounts and submissions changed in the same manner as Luigi's.
Man I sure wish this'd mean all Trump-generated content and speeches got deleted. That'd be genuinely helpful to the world at least...

That's fucking bullshit.
Censorship needs to die.
"Cancel culture" as a term has been abused, but this one... damn this is really cancel culture.
