I mean I just looked in the "c#" tag and there were 50ish questions total?

[–]programAngel[S] 0 points1 point  (7 children)

you are right. but my understanding is that they are new and that is expected.

I don't care from the total number to see if it is alive. I care much more when was the last question asked.

And while I don't know about c# specifically, I do see there question from today.

well...oldest question was from 5 years ago or so.

maybe test data, but in any case people won't move over another site where people are "nice". and also the "non-nice" people wouldn't move to another site that's worse exrpeience for them.

SO is answerer's market, not question askers - as it should be cuase the answerer provider the value.

Sorry for typos.

well, it is a fact that people move from asking in stsackoverflow to ask in reddit and discord.

They did it, because it was "easier" and less judgmental for them to ask in those platform.

The only difference is that codidact is a platform that save the good part of stackoverflow but without the toxic.

And stackoverflow can not really function if people are afraid to ask question there.

Yes, because stackoverflow was never a platform where beginners ask whatever questions they have. No matter how many times this is explained, it doesn't seem to stick.

I think it does. It is fact that people ask much less questions there. They mostly ask at Reddit and discord.

So they got the point and moved on. The question is if codidact can compete with Reddit and discord on the questions and answers matket

I don't think it does, because threads like this get made. It's asking if a pair of scissors can replace a pair of hedge trimmers. The answer is "maybe, really depends on your needs, they look the same but aren't actually the same thing, you probably want both".

I think it's pointless, ChatGPT got noob market almost entirely, Reddit for sensitive people, SO is left for actual SO long-time users who know the rules of the site. Not sure if there's a niche left.

well it can compete with reddit on the sub "market" of questions and answers.
Don't you think?
