How does Codidact avoid repeating SE's mistakes?
- How does Codidact avoid repeating Stack Exchange's mistakes?
- I received an important question in private email, and I'm bringing it here so we can improve on the answer I sent. This won't be the last time we get this question; let's develop a clear, effective response.
- The question, slightly paraphrased, was:
> How will you prevent Codidact from repeating the problems that got SE into its current state? What, in your opinion, caused SE's problems, and how are you avoiding them?- To elaborate a bit, those problems include:
- - SE management neglecting, ignoring, and then changing things out from under the communities they host and the volunteers who support them (e.g. license changes, policy changes), apparently for financial reasons
- - Lack of transparency and accountability in company actions that affect communities
- - Community turmoil caused by company actions that seem mysterious and harmful, and community fragmentation and decline as some leave, others stay, some change their behavior, and so on
