    People cheering on SOs demise don’t realize what we’re losing.

    Support is moving to discord which sucks massive ass. Asking the same question over and over, hoping somone is around to help.

    It sucks.

      I never understood the move to synchronous communication for asynchronous questions. The ephemeral nature of discord is really a PITA. It’s like using IRC for a FAQ.

      Not to mention the people answering the questions are liable to just start accusing you of being an idiot if you make any less progress with their solution than “it’s been fixed so hard that it gained five new functions I didn’t even write into it!” I wrote a 3Js project once and ISTG the people on that discord had all the patience of a three year old who suddenly has to go to the bathroom the red second you’ve merged onto the highway.

      Once upon a time, they stepped forth from the forests of IRC, but back into those dark woods they then one day marched.

      I give it a few months before the Community tier servers’ data is dumped and sold to an AI model company.

      I support the take over. People thinking that they can pick and choose who makes money and how are fooling themselves. The developer who wants all his IP protected so he can make money is upset that a larger entity is also making money is honestly tough fucking shit. Either go back to the origins of the internet napster days or shut the fuck up and live with what we created. There isn’t any middle ground. Its only going to get worse unless you make this place hostile to people building walls and stealing all the data for themselves.
