| Feb 13, 2022 at 21:15 | comment | added | Ward - Trying Codidact Mod | @I^H oops @user9517 Interesting that the decline in # of questions may have bottomed out but the answers continues to go down... | |
| Feb 13, 2022 at 19:48 | comment | added | questionto42 | @user9517 Then new users should get informed that they should rather try it on ServerFault. So that DevOps can fade out. If you have such an experience there, your point of view on it is understandable. Perhaps DevOps needs to be stopped so that the Q/A are archived for research and asking questions is not possible anymore. | |
| Feb 13, 2022 at 19:46 | comment | added | user9517 | I'm well aware of how the site is supposed to work, I'm still the second highest voter on hte site and I rarely contribute any more. The reason I rarely contribute is that wading through an amazonian sized river of crappy questions looking for something interesting (an voting appropriately along the way) is too wearing. Adding more crappy stuff from sites that failed to take off isn't going to help. | |
| Feb 13, 2022 at 19:32 | comment | added | questionto42 | @user9517 We talk about 5000 DevOps questions. SF has 310.000. Cannot be the life changer in any case, whatever your opinion is on this. If it is just to keep out crappy questions, I would rather question your point of view on it. For crappy questions, you have the vote button. This question here is not about improving the SF quality by keeping the DevOps questions out, but by looking only at the topic. And DevOps is kind of a duplicate of ServerFault in many cases, I know that from asking a few questions there and here myself, there is a confusion about ServerFault and DevOps. | |
| Feb 13, 2022 at 19:27 | comment | added | user9517 | As long as it's not here I don't care. I remain disappointed that the devops.se site has not taken off as I was hoping it would take away all the crappy questions away from SF. | |
| Feb 13, 2022 at 19:22 | comment | added | questionto42 | @user9517 I agree, it does not at all fit to "ServerFault" in the core sense of the word in many cases. But where would it fit then? Super User? | |
| Feb 13, 2022 at 19:22 | comment | added | user9517 | Here on SF there are also too many new users and too few answerers as well. More than 50% of questions go unansered and the gap is growing. | |
| Feb 13, 2022 at 19:18 | comment | added | user9517 | One of the founding reasons for a separate devops.se was that Serverfault was not a good fit for many of it's users and questions, This is still true. Closing it and merging it to SF will do no one a service. My comment here about devops.se remains true. | |
