| Jan 20, 2020 at 10:27 | comment | added | terdon | It means what I say in my post. It means no longer expecting anything from this company because we simply will not get it. If you cannot do this, then the only alternative I can see is walking away and leaving the sites. Which is probably the best option. But if you choose to remain, you must do so with no expectation that the company will be a partner, so the best thing to do is ignore them as much as possible. | |
| Jan 20, 2020 at 10:20 | comment | added | Sextus Empiricus | @terdon, what does ignoring mean to you? You consider a demodded moderator still moderator? You ignore license changes? You ignore the company not connecting with community and pretend they solve bugs? How does one 'ignore' the company? | |
| Jan 20, 2020 at 9:11 | comment | added | terdon | It is the only way I can see that could possibly allow me to continue on the site. I need to change my perspective and stop hoping that SE will be a partner again. | |
| Jan 20, 2020 at 6:57 | comment | added | Sextus Empiricus | @terdon what is the point of ignoring the company in order to get yourselve eventually kicked out? | |
| Jan 19, 2020 at 23:00 | comment | added | terdon | Yes, exactly. I am telling those people who choose to stay that there is no point in posting here on MSE trying to get the company to hear us any more. Anyone who chooses to stay should do so knowing and accepting that the company just doesn't care at all. So, I am suggesting that we ignore the company until the company decides to close down the sites or kick us off. | |
| Jan 19, 2020 at 22:23 | comment | added | Sextus Empiricus | @terdon "I was only thinking of those people who don't want to leave" what does that mean? How are you thinking of them? By telling/warning them about.... "They will eventually impose rules we refuse to follow, at which point we'll leave or be kicked out."? | |
| Jan 19, 2020 at 17:04 | comment | added | terdon | Oh, yes, that makes perfect sense. Leaving is probably the most reasonable choice. I was only thinking of those people who don't want to leave and how they can remain. By the way, if you haven't seen it yet, check out codidact.org. | |
| Jan 19, 2020 at 15:35 | comment | added | Sextus Empiricus | @terdon I wait untill SE changes or an alternative Q&A site arrives. Untill that time I stop my contributions here and I am looking for alternative non Q&A ways to contribute but not here (E. g. I am thinking about using a blog or make a help/handbook site, translate Q&A content to wikipedia, etc.). | |

| Jan 19, 2020 at 15:08 | comment | added | terdon | It's a horrible plan. But do you have a better one? It is now abundantly clear that the company isn't listening and doesn't care. Therefore, I see two options: we leave, or we stay and stop hoping for the company to change. If we stay, we either accept their rules or, as I am suggesting, follow those we agree with and ignore the rest. If they don't like that, they can kick us. What are you suggesting as an alternative? | |
