MODERATORS

We talk a lot about the Reddit thing, but can we also talk about the moderation strike at Stack Exchange? (meta.stackexchange.com)

I feel this one is even more impactful for those of us who work in technology, as well as all other areas that have a lot of resources in SE like linguistics and physics. It seems like most people are not aware that it is going on and how important their demands are. Imagine working in software without Stack Overflow, or having it overrun by chatGPT "wrong but convincing" answers.

I wouldn't bet on it, much as I'd like to. We often say "soon enough, it will fall" but death is slow...

I mean, the feedback loops have already started. We ain't gonna be here that much longer; so when I say 'soon', it is more of a macro-level, 'it's the 4th quarter with under 60 seconds on the clock; the players'll start filing off the field any moment'.
