    i’m so unbelievably pissed off that a petty discord drama over two people getting banned killed the only major non-fandom-wikia farm out there. and it wasn’t even financially unstable, they were fully funded.

      Do you have a source on what happened? I hadn’t heard anything about this, and the linked article doesn’t say anything other than “recent events.”

      there’s been a severe lack of volunteers for a while, there’s only 4 people left on the team after the recent fallout.

      personally I’m moving to self hosting but that’s not viable for everyone. There doesn’t seem to be any direct replacement, other than wikitide but I wouldn’t trust that due to a few factors (ToS and Privacy policy ‘coming soon’ sounds legally dubious)

        I feel like self-hosting is genuinely the best option regardless. That way you have full control and you can ensure your wiki never goes down.
