RE: https://bne.social/@phocks/117328604383418168 So much of stack overflow now has old and outdated answers where better answers to the same question exist but have not been recorded as such. But SO is/was not a wiki that people tend to like a garden. At best, someone years later figures out a new answer and adds it on a question, but it takes a while to percolate above an earlier answer as "better, now." One thing that probably contributed to the toxicity was the drive to mark questions as duplicates, at if the site was a wiki. And that frustrated people when two questions are similar but still different by just a slight nuance.
