@arstechnica @gabriel me suena esto de algo. Imagino que habrá (y si no se dara a conocer) una alternativa libre e integrada con el fediverso de StackOverflow? 🤔

@arstechnica Its not sabotage. The users have attribution rights that SO are violating.

@arstechnica SO will probably get nightshaded with lots of organized wrong answers being upvoted by pissed off power users until they ban and scare off those who know really know what to do and what to not do.

@arstechnica clamping down on objectors is such a Streisand effect move. People willing to take the effort to remove their posts are probably a tiny group, but spiking them only makes their protest more potent
