So they pulled a "reddit"?

These companies don't realise their most engaged users generate a disproportionate amount of their content.

They will just go to their own spaces.

I think this a good thing in the long run, the internet will become decentralised again.

I don't know. It feels a bit like "When I quit my employer will realize how much they depended on me." The realization tends to be on the other side.

But while SO may keep functioning fine it would be great if this caused other places to spring up as well. Reddit and X/Twitter are still there but I'm glad we have the fediverse.

Individuals leaving don't have an immediate impact but entire groups of people?

People can see how that worked out for Boeing when many of their experienced engineers and quality inspectors left.

Well, reddit is doing fine so far. Shareholders are happy

And then Stack Overflow will go the same way Digg did.
