Okay but why? It’s not like it’s personal Data or something. I don’t get why people are mad ._.

EDIT: Ofcourse you can downvote me but I’d really like an answer, tho. The article is not very clear about this.

I feel so bad for the long term contributors :/

The only good thing I could think off, is that someone is going to create a defederated stackoverflow alternative?

Or something similar, to bring back real human interaction…

If this wasn’t enough, This will probably raise war against corporated AI.

God forbid someone get a JavaScript snippet that uses var instead of let or const.

I did on Friday and within 5 mins they suspended me and reverted them all. I knew they would so I didn’t care - I just did it so they’d see as many unhappy users as possible.

I then deleted my account of over 10 years with over 50k reputation. Fuck stackoverflow.

Same reason for me. Take some of their time and say fuck you to them. But I will do crippling edits by single characters in one month time. I have time.

I’d assume they would provide a backup from before the announcement for the training.

Do people still use stack overflow? I feel like their days are numbered.

Well, when good documentation is available it isn’t necessary but good documentation is not always available. And it can still be helpful with niche issues 🤷

I mean, good documentation + LLM = Stack overflow is 100% obsolete

Why else would they speed run enshitification?

time for users to shred their comments and posts

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

Discord is straight up unwelcome on corporate networks.

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.

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.

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