| Jun 13, 2023 at 21:09 | comment | added | user535733 | It's addressed in the first two paragraphs. Before AskUbuntu, lots of the same experts used UbuntuForums and IRC. Some still do -- if you try a different venue, you will likely find familiar voices already there (and plenty of experts). For discussion of shared support vision, I would recommend opening a Discourse topic or UbuntuForums thread. You are completely welcome to try and organize some kind of mass migration if you feel that it will help the community. | |
| Jun 13, 2023 at 20:55 | comment | added | Levente | I have found a problem that you haven't seem to address yet: AskUbuntu's strength is that there is a lot of experts posting here. I was right bringing my questions here, because I could hope that they will be answered well, thanks to the concentrated expertise. But if we scatter, like you seem to suggest in the ME comment, then we lose this concentration and, apparently, will be left with scattered expertise: possibly diminished chance to get as good answers, as quickly. From this aspect, it could be beneficial if we reached a shared vision about a destination, to keep us together. No? | |

| Jun 13, 2023 at 14:03 | comment | added | Levente | I seem to find a takeaway here: tendencies for centralization, and the entities behind them, carry an inherent risk, for the people they impact, and for themselves too. | |
| Jun 13, 2023 at 13:50 | comment | added | user535733 | @Levente new introductory paragraphs to address your comments. Instead of "help us select a new candidate platform," consider "help ME select a new platform for my contributions." | |

| Jun 13, 2023 at 12:29 | comment | added | Levente | Thank you for introducing these alternatives. My first remark would be that Reddit has just also embarked on the massive alienation of its userbase, and is experiencing an unprecedented strike right now. We have now a list of formerly trusted, and suddenly deteriorating mass online platforms: Twitter, Reddit, and StackExchange. Heavily capitalist platforms prove that they are ready to put money first, instead of fulfilling their user bases' expectations. I mention this only to help us select a new candidate platform that's hopefully less likely to go down a similar route. | |
