| Nov 19, 2023 at 12:18 | comment | added | goldPseudo | I also should probably point out, it's not like there's just one "community" involved. If anything, our communities are a community of communities, all carving their own way in the environment. | |
| Nov 19, 2023 at 12:16 | comment | added | goldPseudo | @starball Individuals have goals. The company has goals. Even sites can have goals. But at the risk of mixing metaphors, even if everyone's goals are aligned and the garden is pointing in the right direction, the community itself is mostly just along for the ride. | |
| Nov 19, 2023 at 8:33 | comment | added | starball | I challenge the notion that the Stack Exchange "core community" doesn't have a goal. What happened to "make the internet a better place"? or "build a high-quality knowledge-base in the form of Q&As"? or "help each other out when software docs are bad and maintainers are unresponsive" (or some analogous situation for non-software things)? In fact, that was what I was initially going to write an answer post about. But my thoughts took me down a different road. | |
