Stack Overflow Users Are Revolting Against an OpenAI Deal | WIRED

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 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.

And they smell bad too!

I hate 2024

And so the enshitification continues...

Stack overflow still have users? These days it rarely shows up on my search results and when it does the answers are always outdated by several years.

It's time for a federated version. How about "OutOfMemory"? It would fit because I always return to the same topics on StackOverflow.

Time to edit all my answers :)

Oh, look, it's Reddit all over again.

(Yes, yes, different reason. Same user response, though.)

If it’s free online, you are the product

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

time for users to shred their comments and posts

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.

Irc: I ain't dead yet bitch! Discord is fucking awful for dev and search.

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