Here’s hoping they migrate to wiki.gg as Terraria’s contributors have a while ago.

    Lol, they moved out from Reddit and now they moved out from Fandom.

    But their solution could be as simple as make their own wiki.

      Imagine if we already had all the tools needed, and all that’s missing is a bit of hosting and a bit of moderation. If only there was a company with some extra cash behind this… haha.

      But it’s seriously time people retake some kind of control over their online activity. All these “services” looking at every occasion to screw their user is getting annoying.

        Yeah I think people need to separate “popular” from “profitable” in their minds because while I do spend a lot of time on the internet, most of it isn’t for anything I’d be willing to pay for, and if it’s just an excuse to show me ads, I’m not interested.

        We see the shit you’re doing, we don’t like it, and while it might boost some numbers in the short term, it also primes users for the next alternative that won’t just be embraced because it’s new and shiny, but specifically because it’s not the site that used to be great but thought they could abuse their users’ time and attention for greater profits.

        Like at this point, Reddit could do a full 180 and allow 3rd party apps to return, improve their own UX through their site and official apps, and give up on the IPO entirely, but I still won’t be likely to return because all of that just sounds too good to be true and I like it better here than Reddit has been for years.

        I don’t really want to be someone’s product anymore. And if that breaks the whole Internet’s business model, then so be it.

          Yes, that’s the… joke? Idea?

          The only requirement is hosting hardware and visibility. I’m pretty sure that if MS/Mojang hosted an “official” fan-controlled wiki, they’d just have to announce it and the content would be complete in days.

      I’m surprised Microsoft hasn’t forced some Teams/SharePoint mandate on them
