A place to share and discuss visual representations of data: Graphs, charts, maps, etc.
DataIsBeautiful is for visualizations that effectively convey information. Aesthetics are an important part of information visualization, but pretty pictures are not the sole aim of this subreddit.

What made me stop is
they allowed AI answers. Full stop, I don't want AI regurgitating AI.
They did nothing to improve the community except repeatedly say they'll improve the community
The barrier to entry is still way too high. You can't post/comment without rep, but you can't get rep without post/commenting. So people joining struggle to even say hello.
As a engineer who was a power user on StackOverflow, I hate that we are losing a major community that helps coders, beginners or advance, ask questions.
What made me stop is everything I've posted in the last five years has been downvoted and/or closed for the stupidest reasons imaginable. Even a nearly decade old question I posted has recently been downvoted and closed. It's been true for ages that they have created a culture of elitist rule followers hellbent on following the letter of the rule and not the spirit (and many times even ignoring the letter of the rule just to close things), but nowadays it's just so much worse.
I'll write a question. Spend like 30 minutes making sure it's good and that there aren't duplicates because I have so much fucking anxiety about getting downvoted and closed. I'll find similar questions and explain why it's different. Then when I post? Downvote, closed as duplicate. Commenters being condescending assholes.
Not to mention all the other shit over the years. They're violating the license everyone contributes under by not allowing the content to be used for certain purposes. Meta has been a joke for ages. They don't listen or engage.
They don't allow AI answers though?
Other than that, yeah I agree. They needed to switch to curating their content and helping their community and they didn't.
It’s terrible, I will literally see an answer that is telling me to do something that is straight up not an option or a function available to me. So obvious when people use ai generated answers.
Kind of what happens when you build community, then try to scale for profit.
Every single time the top result on Google was closed as a duplicate, drag became a little more mad at that website.
