| Jan 13, 2021 at 7:50 | comment | added | Journeyman Geek Mod | I can't remember when it hadn't reached meme status. On one hand SO (and SE's) unapproachability is something people complain about. On the other, some aspects of it (like the strict quality control, and the non-social element of it), that actually make it useful get people the wrong way. | |
| Jan 13, 2021 at 6:23 | comment | added | Karu | For comparison purposes, a relatively recent Reddit thread. SE's unfriendliness has reached meme status. | |
| Jan 11, 2021 at 13:51 | comment | added | Ramhound | @Karu - That will be easy, once users who call moderators Nazi, are no longer members of the community. | |
| Jan 11, 2021 at 1:34 | comment | added | Karu | @MrSparkly There tend to be hundreds-to-thousands of votes on a moderator election, and as I've said, I have yet to see any moderator conduct (at least on this site) that's even somewhat objectionable. I agree with you that the atmosphere, especially for someone who's not a tech expert, sucks, but the best way to help that is to contribute to the site and be the change you wish to see. One rude comment is enough to turn someone off forever, one kind comment can do the opposite. Let's drown out the rude. | |
| Jan 11, 2021 at 1:31 | comment | added | MrSparkly | @>"anyone with 150 points on the site can vote" Who "can" vote in an election, and who ACTUALLY votes (which is what I said) are two separate things. Voters are mostly people devoted to sites like this. In the case of the bullies, the "devotion" comes from the "kick" they get from abuse. | |
| Jan 11, 2021 at 1:00 | comment | added | Karu | That's not true, @MrSparkly. When there's a mod election, anyone with 150 points on the site can vote. Quite frankly, the mods are above reproach from what I've seen. Whenever I see someone being obnoxiously rude in review, it's someone with a ton of rep but no mod diamond. | |
| Jan 11, 2021 at 0:54 | comment | added | MrSparkly | @Ian Kemp Because this question was asked here, not on Quora. Quora was given as evidence of people leaving Stack Exchange in droves. I am sharing an opinion not "spouting" one. For a good example of hostility discussed here, look in the mirror. | |
| Jan 10, 2021 at 23:56 | comment | added | Ramhound | @IanKemp - Why would I use Quora if it's absolute trash? | |
| Jan 10, 2021 at 19:41 | comment | added | Ian Kemp | Then why are you spouting off your opinion here and not on Quora? | |
| Jan 9, 2021 at 22:43 | comment | added | Ramhound | Quora is absolute trash. They require you to create an account and allow users to pay for answers. The minute SE turns into Quora is the day I leave. The only questions with answers on Quora are questions about SE that should tell you something. | |
| Jan 8, 2021 at 23:51 | comment | added | Franck Dernoncourt | +1 I often think about Stanford prison experiment when on SE. | |
| Jan 8, 2021 at 18:21 | comment | added | Karu | That's not strictly accurate. Moderators are community-elected, and from what I've seen, they tend to be models of how everyone should strive to interact on a Stack* site. | |
