The fediverse won’t succeed at putting up a #Stackoverflow substitute and that’s a problem?
Just an impression: All the pieces seem to be there. But what’s required is a team, with devs, PMs and coordinators, dedicated to making a particular place in the #fediverse .
That’s resources and decently sized financial and organisational demands, especially to get a critical mass of users.
Is the fediverse up to that challenge? If not, is it an issue worth addressing?
The power of SO was never the software. It was the relentless effort the team put into community building and making sure site was valuable both as an interactive experience and as an archive.
You can’t code yourself out of that effort.
Forget federated stackoverflow, give me federated Gardening.StackExchange!
