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?
I’d opt into targeted ads for a federated S-O service, personally. The site is a huge database and needs safe-keeping, and that’s not free or even cheap. Tastefully placed ads that don’t pop over or ruin the printed copy I’d totally go for.

So this is the kind of thing I was targeting. That there may be a mismatch between what the fediverse is even willing to think of (here, a somewhat commercial or ads-revenue driven platform) and what plenty would be happy with as a way to get a good service or platform on the fediverse.
