We're often told things need to change, and we need to adjust. Perhaps its also true of how the company treats the public Q&A communities too. There's some changes that could put some meat on those tired old bones the company should consider, even if they're relics of older times | |
| Feb 5, 2025 at 12:21 | comment | added | Journeyman Geek | My personal preference is to convince people to embrace a little chaos but not too much, but that's a cultural change that needs heaps of the ability to leverage a certain sort of moral suation. I think to an extent, systems have clear, neat, metrics. Cultural change needs effort, long term engagement, and a certain degree of trust, And I do mean last survivors when a good chunk of the 'former' SE communities care about what happens here, but aren't here. I'm mostly going on a certain degree of stubbornness, and sometimes excessive optimism myself. | |

It's inarguably something we can do, and I think you're right that it's not good to view it as a systems-only problem. But there's no denying the systems have a significant role to play regardless. | |
| Feb 3, 2025 at 23:39 | comment | added | Slate StaffMod | The first comment that occurs to me is to say that "last survivors" might honestly be a little bleak. Yes, we've taken consierable losses as a unified community, that's certainly true. But there are still enough of us here to do what is necessary. Which is to say that I tend to think we have strong bones, but also that we have enough of a committed core to make the future work. Your observation they've mostly stayed above the drama is probably true, though. That means some part of this will necessarily entail convincing a new generation to care about the future, even if there's drama. | |
