S. Exchange Considered Harmful

As a person irrelevant to Stack Exchange and its subsidiaries, but to whom the wellbeing of the communities of Stack Exchange - especially Stack Overflow - seemed for years to prove an irreplaceable asset, I would like to publicly express my disdain towards the political stances that Stack Exchange Inc. has been recently taking as a company, and the means of their promotion.

I appeal that all the great contributors who used to spend more time contributing to the communities than I ever have, yet feel similarly about the various issues, do not stop contributing until a superior alternative to Stack Exchange that does not intrude into everyone's moral compasses is made available, but visibly mark their profiles with an expression of that feeling.

Thank You.
