AlmondSauce13133240d"Why the fuck is SE/SO buried so deep in politics"
...because they forced themselves into it last year when they fired a moderator who happened to be one of the most prominent, well-standing and high-rep users on the network seemingly without reasonable cause, refused to engage with her or explain why she was fired, accidentally publicly slandered her to a Register journalist of all people, then found themselves trying to defend those actions morally & eventually legally, in a lawsuit that was bankrolled by disgruntled veteran SO users.
(There's also a bunch of minor gripes going around like their new CEO removing swag for the 100k+ members.)
It was a PR disaster from start to finish, appallingly handled, and they're now desperately trying to claw back trust from a lot of those veteran users as a result - largely unsuccessfully. Many have left or stopped posting altogether, traffic is at its lowest since 2011, and there's stupid numbers of low quality, unanswered questions. -

Fast-Nop32758240d@SortOfTested The only free exchange around is STDs from used needles, so what did you expect from SE?

molaram3664240d@AlmondSauce I am so tired of all this crap
Nobody does jack shit anymore they just sit and talk
A bunch of assholes endlessly debating over a stupid fucking website
You can't have a damn simple website without a million licenses, taxes, talk, politics, debates, discussions, reviews, links, ratings, terms, disclaimers and whatnot
I think I will just change profession and become a gardener or something. It is simple and pays better anyway.

Tons of tons of tens of hundred pages of bullshit and debate and comments and what the fuck not over a fucking WEBSITE. I haven't seen this much bullshit flying around when fucktards voted trump for president.

I'm DNS shitholing all this fucking thing, right now it costs me more time to dig through piles of human garbage than it saves me on occasion
PS I'm not even sure I wouldn't just delete that whole fucking thing if I could. And have those fuckers dig holes in the ground to make themselves more useful. All this shit does is to make it easier for retards to jump on the software development bandwagon ruining the market for everyone else.
