Stack Exchange — iota.stackexchange.com
The content of iota.stackexchange.com (https://iota.stackexchange.com/), a Stack Exchange question-and-answer site, as published in the Stack Exchange Data Dump of April 2024 on the Internet Archive. The posts table holds 4,895 rows: 2,464 posts (1,074 questions, 1,283 answers, 51 tag wiki excerpts, 51 tag wikis and 5 posts of type 6) and 2,431 comments, written between 28 November 2017 and 1 March 2024. Beside it are 6,040 user accounts, 10,698 votes, 7,077 badges awarded, 159 tags, 7,869 post revisions and 310 links between posts. Every answer keeps the question it answers and every comment the post it was written on, so the threads can be rebuilt. The Internet Archive item describes the dump as anonymised; the votes table names the voter in only 36 rows.
