Why you should know: StackOverflow is facing a mod strike in a similar way as Reddit’s mod strike. They are doing this in response to StackOverflow’s failure to address it’s promises and provide moderation tools

    Yeah, before StackOverflow took over everything my web searches for programming problems would usually lead to forum threads. The quality of information would usually be better there, too.

      Ironically StackOverflow was formed to solve the problem of every language or tech stack being in their own forums, IRCs, and mailing lists, numbered in the bazillions and non-indexed. Basically Reddit for Q&As.
