Considering how SO is killing itself rather quickly, it would be interesting to have a platform with similar structure but taking users interests instead of profit of executives. I am not saying their system is perfect, I have made a post in the past on their meta community regarding how hard it is for new contributors to start. I remember hearing about an alternative but after searching for it, I couldn’t find anything.
Does anyone know such platform?
Edit: After I posted I came across Codidact. I will try using it! Feel free to post other alternatives though!
There are many Discourse forums for various programming related tools, services, and programming languages. I’ve shared 3 examples below.
Related note: If there was an alternative to Yahoo’s Chiebukuro (Bag of wisdom, a Japanese general q&a forum) in the Fediverse, I’d betcha it would catch on.
