| Jun 14, 2023 at 7:26 | comment | added | Carl-Fredrik Nyberg Brodda | @DavidRoberts If even the hint is that atrocious… Thank you for sending that. (To be clear: in no way do I attribute my lack of knowledge to you moderators not communicating properly, or anything like that. From what I have seen, you have been doing a very good job) | |

| Jun 13, 2023 at 19:52 | comment | added | Carl-Fredrik Nyberg Brodda | For the average user (like myself) I have found it difficult to get a clear overview of all issues, especially things along the lines of those mentioned by @DavidRoberts (e.g. "the current management have not been making life easy for moderators"; this is knowledge difficult to convey to the average user). I understand that there are many layers of this not visible to me, and so I feel somewhat hesitant towards the idea of a general vote for an MOExit. However, I have total faith in our current moderators, having directly voted for them in the past, and I will support them and their decision. | |

| Jun 11, 2023 at 4:02 | comment | added | Moishe Kohan | To me, one of the thresholds triggering the "nuclear option" would be SE firing one or more MO mods (the current agreement between MO and SE does not make it clear if SE can do so). | |

| Jun 10, 2023 at 2:26 | comment | added | Noah Snyder | Getting rid of the data dumps and doing so secretly with no discussion may well cross the line for me. meta.stackexchange.com/questions/389922/… | |

| Jun 8, 2023 at 7:33 | comment | added | David Roberts Mod | @მამუკა The current management have not been making life easy for moderators, and imposing policy that moderators feel will degrade the quality of sites on th network, including MO. We are not thinking of leaving at this time. But the question is to slowly collate a consensus, if at all, what would happen to make us want to actually leave. That is, what do you think are things that SE might do that would be the line in the sand? | |
| Jun 8, 2023 at 4:57 | comment | added | მამუკა ჯიბლაძე | I totally lack any information about something crucial here: what are the SE trends that might be harmful (a) for MO and (b) maybe not for MO as an entity but still harmful in some global sense | |
| Jun 7, 2023 at 3:32 | comment | added | ziggurism | If it were time to migrate away from StackExchange, I would be wondering about the prospect of migrating to Monica Cellio's Codidact platform. Would it be technically possible, and would that migration have the support of the community? Or would MO have to roll their own software and server infrastructure? | |

old title was a bit too leading, and seemed to imply we should, but haven't realised yet

Clarifying remark

| Jun 6, 2023 at 4:57 | comment | added | Martin Sleziak | The first comment links to the migration agreement. For the benefit of people who cannot access it on Google Drive, here is a link to the post on this meta containing the same text: What is MathOverflow's "agreement" with Stack Exchange? | |

| Jun 6, 2023 at 4:29 | comment | added | Martin Sleziak | @Sam Hopkins asked about the software. There was a bit related question here on meta - it got basically no response, if we do not count a few comments: Is there a software solution if we do cut the cord from SE? Since one of the above comments mentioned financial contributions, I will include link to the previous post on this topic: Donations to MathOverflow, Inc. | |
| Jun 6, 2023 at 3:01 | comment | added | Sam Hopkins Mod | It would be good to know how "seamless" vs. "messy" divorcing from SE would be, from a purely technical point of view. I understand that MO owns its "data," but would the website and software largely continue to work? Would it go down for hours... days...? | |
| Jun 6, 2023 at 2:11 | comment | added | Steven Landsburg | This is not directly responsive to the question (hence a comment, not an answer) but I expect that there are many (including me) who would be happy to contribute financially to the acquisition and support of the necessary infrastructure if, after much discussion, there was something like a consensus that moving is a good idea. | |

| Jun 6, 2023 at 0:26 | comment | added | David Roberts Mod | Please note Tim Campion's answer here: meta.mathoverflow.net/a/4373/4177 (written before he was elected moderator) and some of the general ideas it contains. The specific suggestions were in response to the biggest problems back then, but the idea of thinking hard about the migration agreement is a good one. | |
