I really like the system in place on StackOverflow, but I hate the people in it. The first 2 years of its existence, from the older questions I've seen, must have been amazing. I started using it in 2010 and for about 3 years it was pretty good. After 2013 it really started going downhill. It's crawling with pajeets and other retards, and the minority of knowledgeable users now seem to change the site to cater to these retards. The retarded rulefaggotry has gotten to the point that classic old questions with tens, sometimes hundreds of votes are being closed/deleted for being "off-topic" or "subjective". You can't ask anything requiring any thought whatsoever because angry pajeets downvote and report you. The past 1-2 years especially I've found it unusable.
Is there another site for tech-related questions that uses a similar persistent QA model but doesn't have so many terrible users?
Usenet comp.* groups. Don't use the google interface though, it sucks and fucks up the messages. There are other options to get direct NNTP, if your ISP doesn't already provide it.

Stack Overflow is a great example of "you get what you paid for". Any alternative you create will succumb to the same issue, Pajeets have taken the mental poo everywhere on the internet.

I've never used Usenet. Do you need to pay your ISP separately for that, or can you do it 4free?
But it was fine for five years.

I just hate the rule faggotory on stackoverflow, that's all. TOO many people decide what's wrong and not, and therefore subjects will stop being discussed because someone just feels like it.

i've started archiving them. anytime i come across a helpful answer, or a page with a really insightful explanation, i'll save the page offline to archive it. then i have access to it if it ever goes down, and i can still grep over the directory to search keywords.

The exact same happened to Quora. Once it started to pop up first in the search results, the quality dropped.There is some kind of critical mass which a site can't handle. But this isn't just tech and websites. It is the same thing with democracy. (hi Holla Forums) This is why in every good democratic country the education and schooling is mandatory until the age when the citizen gets his/her right to vote.
On StackOverflow, it is just too easy to get voting rights. You might try Experts-Exchange, maybe you'll like it.

What's wrong with you?

more succinct than what OP typed, makes it clearer the point being addressed. basic chan culture how new are you? underage b& tbh i bet.
sage because replying to a low energy post and off topic.
