1Thanks for weighing in, Thomas. We know there are many concerns that have already been raised over the years -- this is an opportunity for communities to surface ones that they think need to take priority at the current moment. As for posting on Meta SE: forgive the fishing pun, but we’re trying to cast as wide a net as possible. The goal is to identify communities that may be interested in revisiting certain norms or policies, whether through concerns that have already been documented (such as the ones you referenced) or through discussions that haven’t happened yet.

2The work itself won’t happen on MSE. Rather, we’re hoping to: 1. Identify interested communities here, and then 2. Work with those communities on their own Meta sites, where discussions can be more focused, contextual, and tailored to the needs of that particular site. In other words, this post is intended as a starting point for finding communities that want to participate, not as the venue where specific community policy decisions would ultimately be made.

7@bigbird If you're looking for people to nominate communities, then the post should make that more clear. That's actionable. I'd welcome this on Software Engineering, SQA & Testing, or Project Management. But...I don't know how much participation you'd get with the dwindling participation to begin with. However, if the point is to identify interested communities, there are three.Thomas Owens– Thomas Owens2026-06-23 21:54:21 +00:00Commented Jun 23 at 21:54

Community moderation tools are required as long as those tools don’t exist community engagement will continue to decrease but the chances of this issue being resolved is close to zero, instead useless features associated with AI are being developed, and allowing useless opinion based questions.Ramhound– Ramhound2026-06-27 14:31:42 +00:00Commented Jun 27 at 14:31

Erm... what fishing pun? Was that comment written by AI?HappyDog– HappyDog2026-06-30 08:25:58 +00:00Commented yesterday

@HappyDog guessing they confused "pun" and "reference". "casting as wide a net as possible" would be a fishing reference, but there was nothing funny about it to make it a pun :Pc32hedge– c32hedge2026-07-01 19:02:58 +00:00Commented 3 hours ago

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. stack-overflow), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
