Moderation Strike: Stack Overflow, Inc. cannot consistently ignore, mistreat, and malign its volunteers
meta.stackoverflow.com

Why you should know: StackOverflow is facing a mod strike in a similar way as Reddit's mod strike. They are doing this in response to StackOverflow's failure to address it's promises and provide moderation tools

I don't think so: Stack Overflow requires much more moderation for the comments and answers to actually stay on topic and be somewhat professional. Especially the "don't just link somewhere, explain the thing" rule might require a lot of moderation.

Moderation will probably be done by AI in the future. It's probably just a bit too expensive still.

Why is this being downvoted? This dystopian nightmare future is very likely going to happen.

People on stack overflow explain things?
