Feb 20, 2020 at 16:26 comment added anonymous @VictorStafusa Covered that in the plagiarism aspect in the footnote. As for them not searching StackOverflow Meta... what you wrote supports my argument that they aren't paying attention to what's going on. A data scientist focused on assigned tasks might not have the time, but a Community Manager or other person engaging with the community should have come across it.
Feb 20, 2020 at 14:42 comment added Rushabh Mehta @Qix-MONICAWASMISTREATED I think it comes down to two things: increasing pressure on corporate to monetize (due to VC guys knocking on the door), and increasing social media pressure (before the "incident", there were a lot of twitter threads calling out SE as a toxic place for minorities)
Feb 20, 2020 at 5:25 comment added Victor Stafusa I would say that plagiarism is a term too strong here and not what really happened afterall. I would say that the July 2019 post is more likely to be some information that was missed by the people who should have read it. This isn't plagiarism, it is just not researching it. And frankly, if I were a data scientist or similar working on SE, I would directly look into extracting numbers from the database, I wouldn't search MSE for something that some random user might had posted about that somewhere.

Feb 19, 2020 at 20:29 comment added NoDataDumpNoContribution They also didn't really follow through on initiatives to better manage expectations of askers and improve the asking experience. Maybe they could also explain why they didn't see this as important enough to invest more resources.

Feb 19, 2020 at 18:36 comment added Qix - MONICA WAS MISTREATED Why did [they] . . . change things in the first place? is exactly what a lot of us are thinking. SO used to be a pretty self-sustaining community. Even with this post, it still feels like we're at the whim of some overlords. We don't govern the SO/SE community any longer - a "head of community" does. That's really the problem.

Feb 19, 2020 at 17:23 comment added anonymous @MaxVernon Of course and I can be an asshole myself at times as well. However, it's also something that's condescending to see and gives a bad impression. Also, there's been some research starting to filter out that "nudges" like that don't really have much impact upon people's behavior.
Feb 19, 2020 at 17:17 comment added Hannah Vernon regarding the item about not having the "be nice" banner show up for high rep users; there are more than a few very high rep users who are total assholes. Not to put too fine a point on it.
