Why Developers Are Moving Away from Stack Overflow?

I’m not a professional SWE but I do light coding sometimes (Linux terminal, Python programs I made for myself, docker-compose on my home server). I tried to post questions on Stack Overflow a few times over the years after exhaustive searching to find the answer myself. My SO questions removed every single time, often pointing to a “duplicate” that is contextually very different and the answer is N/A.

I get why the base SO rules are the way they are. But it seems like some of the moderators (or whatever they call them there) are looking for a reason to remove anything and everything.

Gemini might tell me to type a command to format my RAID drives when I ask how to remount the array after an OS reformat, but it won’t delete my question like SO or call me an idiot like Redditors.
