I have decided to move to , which focuses on the community and intends to be a non-profit organisation. Trying to be a friendly mather :) Some facts: I like . I like maths, but not as much as the oppihs. I joined here on Wednesday, May 3rd 2023. (First day of the mid-2020s, fun fact!) I`m an occasional er. I know that text (like the "er") not being inside a link is an sore. I sometimes use emojis and smiley faces. Why not? I know that rep points don`t reflect our true reputation (and are merely internet points designed to make us "addicted" (remember, Stack Exchange is a for-profit company)) , so I don`t really care about them. I`m here for fun, learning, and helping, not for points. I mainly use now (see below), and will be much less active here (except for Puzzling SE). About the ... I think it`s not good, and would much prefer the old buttons. The post is gaining many downvotes as I`m typing this, fun fact. (May 30th, 2023) Sure, it`s just a design change, but the fact it has a score of -251 (as I`m typing this) implies they don`t care about what we think. While it probably will, I hope this doesn`t end up like the where people overwhelmingly disagree, but are forced to accept anyway. Yes, perhaps we have extensions or tools to keep the old update – but that absolutely does not change how they treat our community. Also, this is not the only change. also shows how they just downright ignore many people . Maybe even more of these posts will show up later. Leaving? Do I want to contribute to a company who loudly ignores its community? NO, and I don`t think you should either. Because of that, I will leave if they insist on silencing our opinions. That`s not a threat – Stack Exchange doesn`t care that hundreds of people disagree with the new design, so why`d they lift a finger if some people leave the site? Anyway, I do not want to contribute to a company that treats its users like this. I`d much rather choose one that actually listens to us (especially non-profit organizations). Have I left yet? No, but I`ll definitely make up my mind somewhere in June 2023 . We`ll see whether they keep insisting on silencing us... Update (June 14th, 2023) : even with a score of -538, they stand true to their decisions. Hence, I`m leaving the Stack Exchange network (except Puzzling SE for now).
