We've consistently given actional feedback and continue to, even tried to explain where its less than obvious to someone not a network regular and its been ignored. At some point we burn out (and we've lost mods due to company actions... far too many). The mood amongst many mods is 'why bother' cause our feedback hasn't had any impact at all. So - I'd wonder if the company is willing to work towards changing that.

An early draft that a little janky, designed to find requirements has value. Something that's clearly designed to be a completely different model is going to get pushback. Thing is there was a lot of early feedback on the redesign that's been ignored. In many cases, other initiatives - such as the new data dump, still have promised features (like access to a complete copy) either on hold for years, or quietly killed off.

We have no real reason to believe this isn't going to end up with the vision of folks uninvested in the stack exchange network as it has been, rather than as a evolution of the platform we know and love.

We need to know our feedback has value. If the feedback is that the new design is currently unserviceable for our needs - and we're rather you iterate and improve our current model, we need you to take that feedback , and show good faith, even if It means killing off a project you've sunk a lot of man hours into .

I'm going to quote from a moderator internal post I wrote earlier

A lot of the time, the company lacks direction and communication. There's multiple situations where the company has failed to take community feedback, or pushes through 'features' or bigger projects without taking neither their own employees feedback or the community's (see the rebrand). We've had extended periods over the years with insufficient support. While the company is very focused on changing the platform to attract people from outside, we lose people who have impact within the communities. The public platform, especially smaller sites often end up in a poor state as a result cause they don't have the critical mass to handle a problem.
