stupidgenius<p>I continue to experience the most exquisite schadenfreude over StackOverflow's plummet into /dev/null.

Claudius<p>Gotta say, with all the very clever gamification that has been put into <a href="https://darmstadt.social/tags/StackOverflow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>StackOverflow</span></a> itself, this process feels like the exact opposite. It feels borderline hostile every step of the way. And because we know SO can do better, it doesn't feel like "stupidity" or "carelessness", it feels like "we don't want you here, so we're making this aspect of our business miserable for you".</p>
Claudius<p>... a couple of days later you get an email with a link to their internal platform, (this is where I failed my 5 captchas <a href="https://darmstadt.social/@claudius/114774605975131313" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">darmstadt.social/@claudius/114</span><span class="invisible">774605975131313</span></a> ).</p><p>You are presented with a JSON file with no explanation whatsoever (I reckon that's fine for the audience), but that json file contains almost nothing.</p><p>It you think about the treasure trove of data <a href="https://darmstadt.social/tags/StackOverflow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>StackOverflow</span></a> clearly keeps about its visitors, there's NOTHING of that in that JSON.</p><p>I honestly would have expected better from them :-/</p>
Claudius<p>Gotta say I'm not a fan of how <a href="https://darmstadt.social/tags/Stackoverflow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Stackoverflow</span></a> handles a <a href="https://darmstadt.social/tags/GDPR" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GDPR</span></a> request for one's own data.</p><p>First, there's no visible "self service" thing in my account settings, in contrast to what basically everyone else does.</p><p>When you DO find the data request form (<a href="https://policies.stackoverflow.co/data-request/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">policies.stackoverflow.co/data</span><span class="invisible">-request/</span></a>) they make you fill out a bunch of stuff that wouldn't be necessary if they just offered a self-checkout.</p><p>Then a couple of confirmations (fair, they need to make sure it's not someone else impersonating).
