The fediverse won’t succeed at putting up a #Stackoverflow substitute and that’s a problem?

Just an impression: All the pieces seem to be there. But what’s required is a team, with devs, PMs and coordinators, dedicated to making a particular place in the #fediverse .

That’s resources and decently sized financial and organisational demands, especially to get a critical mass of users.

Is the fediverse up to that challenge? If not, is it an issue worth addressing?

      Yea. That’s more or less what I had in mind. This isn’t merely a matter of writing the software. Like I said, many of the pieces are basically here already. It’s building the place/platform, which has to include a whole bunch of just “work” including the moderation that you mention.

      Additionally: adoption is a feature you can’t design. Any site that’s just people talking is either firmly established or in deep trouble. The middle ground cannot last.
