Notice the upvotes on that question about CAN. The question and one of the answers got upvoted after the migration to Mechanics.SE Yeah, cause I upvoted them as good. Not to mean they belong there.

Your recent update to your post seems to be reinforcing the idea that you think the migration was OK. The fact that someone on that site had the knowledge to give nice answers doesn't mean it was OK to migrate it. It is irrelevant. If someone migrated here a question from SO about, say, the Lua language, I could probably write quite a decent answer. And Lua is used in embedded systems. But if the question weren't about embedded systems, would my good answer indicate that it was OK to migrate it here? I don't think so. | |
| Jun 16, 2019 at 14:08 | comment | added | Nick Alexeev Mod | @Loreno I'm not defending a mistake. He asked me "why". He wanted to know my rationale. I answered what I was thinking at the time when I was arranging the migration of the question. | |
| Jun 16, 2019 at 14:06 | comment | added | Nick Alexeev Mod | @DmitryGrigoryev Unfortunately, announcing migrations in comment will lead to unnecessarily long exchanges, which will require cleanup. If somebody cares about question migrations, it's well within their diligence to check chat. | |
| Jun 16, 2019 at 9:59 | comment | added | Dmitry Grigoryev | @NickAlexeev Unfortunately, I don't spend much time in chat, so I will likely miss on such migration announcements. What I will almost certainly see is a comment on a question I'm about to answer. | |
| Jun 15, 2019 at 12:18 | comment | added | LorenzoDonati4Ukraine-OnStrike | ... A moderator did a silly mistake, OK, it happens. Apologize, try to revert the action and get over it. Just don't add insult to injury by defending such a mistake! | |
| Jun 15, 2019 at 12:17 | comment | added | LorenzoDonati4Ukraine-OnStrike | ??? What ??? The question didn't mention one single time the word car or any other mechanical term. How on earth that was a defensible migration action?!? So the only apparent logic in that migration is "CAN is heavily used on cars, the post asks for CAN then let's migrate it to mechanics.SE". The same logic is applicable to a dozen other topics (e.g. LED lighting, ABS plastic, glass windows, fire retardant carpets, etc. ). So let's dump on mechanics.SE any post on the SE network mentioning something that is used on cars! Come on! ... | |

| Jun 14, 2019 at 19:13 | comment | added | Nick Alexeev Mod | @DmitryGrigoryev How about a chat room for announcing, proposing, and clearing migrations? We could do it in the ask-a-moderator room. Or, we could set up a separate chat room. | |
| Jun 14, 2019 at 7:36 | comment | added | MCG | @DmitryGrigoryev That's a good idea. Judging by the response to this, I'd say it is a good way to go | |
| Jun 14, 2019 at 7:17 | comment | added | Dmitry Grigoryev | Nick, could you perhaps comment on questions you plan to migrate before you do, and refrain from a migration it you get negative comments from the community? Especially on questions which have been upvoted or answered. | |
| Jun 13, 2019 at 8:18 | comment | added | MCG | @NickAlexeev, no, it's the same logic. It was an absolutely ridiculous decision to migrate this question. It was very, very clearly on topic here and should have stayed that way. | |
| Jun 13, 2019 at 8:03 | comment | added | Nick Alexeev Mod | Different logic, @W5VO. Arduino.SE moderators wouldn't approve SPI and I2C questions migrated to Arduino.SE . | |
| Jun 13, 2019 at 5:47 | comment | added | Chris Stratton | The real problem is the SE has no mechanism for addressing this kind of pattern of moderator misbehavior. | |
| Jun 12, 2019 at 17:38 | comment | added | W5VO Mod | I mean, by that logic we should migrate everything that uses SPI and I2C to the Arduino stack exchange because they have "experience" with SPI and I2C. It wasn't off-topic here, so it shouldn't have been migrated. | |
| Jun 12, 2019 at 12:47 | comment | added | MCG | Looked very much an EE question to me. | |
| Jun 12, 2019 at 8:41 | comment | added | dim | The fact they say it's "within their knownledge" doesn't necessarily means it makes sense to migrate it. Home mains cabling is within our knowledge, but do you want all cabling questions from DIY.SE to end up on EE.SE? The way the question is fomulated makes it much more fit to the EE site than Mechanics. And it already had answers from EE users. | |
| Jun 12, 2019 at 7:45 | comment | added | Lundin | But the question has nothing to do with cars! CAN is used everywhere, not just in cars. | |
