Questions that may not necessarily have a clear-cut right or wrong answer and are often subjective. If your question isn't a bug report, feature request, or request for support, it's probably a discussion.

Stack Overflow is doing me ongoing harm; it's time to fix it!
This is the way SE works
I went through a situation a few years ago - utterly trivial by comparison to this - where the way it was handled made a few hard truths obvious.
SE is not interested in peo …

Why taking responsibility for other people's feelings doesn't work
Here's where it fails.
When you're asking a question on an SE site, factors such as your gender, your orientation, the colour of your skin: they don't matter and they shouldn't matter. If somebody us …

Why do you stay?
I don't.
To be more specific, I have long since left the SE community I was most active in, with no regrets and no looking back.
Although I would have liked things to have been different, I ultimat …

What about the community is "toxic" to new users?
I would suggest: not very much.
There is a difference between being "unwelcoming", "unfriendly", and being "toxic", but yet here we are in 2020 with an assumed state of toxicity.
How do we define a …

Paraphrasing from something I said elsewhere.
When you ask or answer a question on SE, factors such as gender, orientation, colour of your skin, etc, they don't matter and they shouldn't matter.

The company’s commitment to rebuilding the relationship with you, our community
This is a GREAT start. It should have happened 5 months ago but at least it's happening now, and it's certainly better than the alternative of it not happening at all.
It is, however, only half of wh …

Where do we go from here?
I too have just become aware of recent events.
To be honest, this has been building for a long time. There are disconnects between the different levels (CM, mod, high-rep, and low-rep) of SE communit …

What, if anything, can SE do to resolve the ongoing conflict in a timely way?
No.
That ship has sailed. The time to do damage limitation was in the immediate aftermath of Monica's firing. If she had done anything that merited immediate dismissal followed by further investigati …

Has the quality of questions decreased on all SE sites, or only on SO? How do we alter this ...
I've seen a decrease in quality in the sites I participate in and/or just follow, but it's not been since the recent events; it's something that's been going on for years now, and in one case in parti …

Is there no scope for asking opinion-based questions on Stack Exchange?
Thing is, SE sites aren't discussion forums. They're for questions about specific problems, and answers to those questions. …

Uplifting a ban
How can I get out of an answer ban?
Your positive contributions to the site must outweigh your negatives. You can start by fixing your answers, which I understand you should still be able to do. If …

Is the voting and reputation system sustainable? How can we improve it or maybe it should be...
The voting system can be sustainable provided SE is able to attract and retain knowledgeable subject matter experts. A loose working definition of such a person might be someone who is capable of hitt …

Absolutely no way.
Irrespective of the current goings-on, irrespective of the staff member who (reading between the lines) this is obviously aimed at, this is not the way to resolve things.

Should we downvote duplicates?
Closing a question as a duplicate is not a punishment.
The reason to ask a question is to get an answer, and if a question has been answered before, then closing as a duplicate is a way of saying "He …

Is there a way to advocate for the removal of a "duplicate question" declaration?
Edit the question to more clearly demonstrate that it's not a duplicate, and if it gets 5 reopen votes from users with reopen privileges, it will be reopened.
In this particular case it doesn't seem …
