Or, instead of boycotting, we could use these surveys to tell the company what we really think.

@House-'ReinstateMonica'-man: No, that's not what would happen. And we already have the medium for telling the company what we think. It would be a mistake IMHO to play along with these survey games.

It's way past the time for all of us to just give up expecting the company to have any actual dialog with the community, if you ask me.

@Marc.2377: Why are you so certain of that?

@einpoklum-reinstateMonica I started noticing this pattern two and a half years ago. Others noticed it even earlier. Things took a turn for the worse more recently, and for the past two months it's been the subject of intense discussion. And we tried. (continues...)

(cont) And they apologized (or did they?). And they promised. But did anything change? Nope, just radio silence. As many have said before me: they haven't even talked to Monica, why expect them to talk to us? That would be a very foolish expectation indeed. It's way past time to move on.

@Marc.2377: Things were different 3 years ago, and they changed. Maybe 3 years from now they'll change again. I agree that they're not likely to change soon or without a change of circumstances. But don't be so fatal...

Yeah, I can see you already know about everything I'm saying here. Well, they haven't been talking. They won't talk anytime soon. If they do talk 3 years from now, I for one won't be here to listen. You must understand.

@Marc.2377: I understand. But I probably will be here (well, on non-meta sites at least) in 3 years.
