Take Security Stack Exchange, for example, which is my main SE site. Whenever I get an email relating to it, e.g. a question is closed, this bounty was accepted, whatever it is, the email is always from Stack Overflow, and not Stack Exchange, when Security SE is not even (directly) related to SO.
I have seen many duplicates as to the differences between SE and SO, and I get that SO is the 'flag-ship' site of SE network, but unless anyone knows of an exact duplicate- please don't flag this as one!
I am thinking that maybe Stack Exchange has appointed Stack Overflow as a 'manager' of sorts, because SO also announced the OpenAI partnership, which affects all SE sites. I am also guessing that SE don't have or can't manage/afford the resources needed to do this- but the system is automated, anyway.
But I would like a good answer as to why SO emails me (and everyone) about all SE sites.
P.S. I am not complaining in any way; I am just curious as to why this is the case.
The other day my question got closed and this was the email sender: [email protected]
