[keycloak-user] Stack Overflow

[Roger Turnau (US - Advisory)]

I like the idea in theory. In practice, SO has morphed over the years from
a welcoming technical community into a wretched hive of overweening mod
tyranny. I dread having to ask a question there these days, because
everyone, it seems, sees that as an opportunity to get nasty.

It is far easier to search for answers to questions on SO than it is here,
but this list is far more welcoming to newcomers. My regret, I guess, is
that both can't be equally active.
