I was just looking at the hat leaderboard, and SE really has some serious drama going on...
There's plenty of technical competency among all these sites, we should make a new SE from scratch fixing all the problems, making it open source, and allowing a distributed self hosted system, as well as a centralized system.
Whoever runs the centralized system could always become corrupt, but if the open source project is licensed properly, the distributed setup would remain safe.
@VRM Yeah, I'm pretty much with you. I'm not particularly invested in SE anymore, so seeing all the stuff that's going on with ads and than the whole thing with Monica makes me thing abandoning the site for something else would be better than trying to fix all the bureaucracy...
@VRM Anyway, how have things been for you? Are you still freelancing?
