| Jul 28, 2020 at 9:04 | comment | added | user227732 | @Mast but why not let the Alloy community find its way? If you're interested, there is a book called Software Abstractions by Daniel Jackson that explains the theory and language. | |

Depending on how we explain what this means, it will either lead into the code being broken or the question (problem statement) being misunderstood (explanation of code). I'm simply trying to understand the language here so we know how to moderate it in the future. | |
| Jul 27, 2020 at 13:41 | comment | added | Vogel612 Mod | @PeterKriens yea, that's mostly due to the vast difference in scale of the community. On Stack Overflow most tags have enough users to fully self-moderate. For Code Review the only tags that potentially have that scale are javascript, java, c#, c, c++ and python, and even then usually people that are "at home" in other tags help out to make moderation efforts responsive. That's why there is such a marked difference. | |
| Jul 27, 2020 at 13:12 | comment | added | user227732 | How can I introduce Alloy into this existing community? I'd not realised that Code Review was a tight-knit community in itself. To be honest, that still surprises me. My experience comes from SO where I see it is a lot of different communities that share a common commercial infrastructure. I would be highly surprised see a PHP developer policing a OSGi question. It is mostly live and let live. I think Code Review is eminently suitable for what we want to use it but a meta-community that is policing posts that are outside the moderator's expertise feels hostile; nobody gains with that. | |
