    StackOverflow didn’t want 71 repeats of “what Linux distro should I install if I just want browsing and office?” questions.

    So they aggressively link repeats, and I have seen appeals heard.

    I think the only problem with stackoverflow is the company angling for a sale and getting Ellen to be hatchetman. Replicate it here with smart answers and it’s gold.

      When the top result of google is a SO page with someone asking your exact question and the top rated answer is telling them to google it first and closing the question as dupe you’ve done something wrong as a platform.
