On one hand, I can name sites that, in 2023, either screwed over their user base, or just went under.
- Teknik (obscure file host/git repo host)
- Enjin (forum host for clans/everyone and their dogs’ minecraft servers, rebranded to peddle NFTs)
- Imgur (currently scrubbing their servers of anonymous uploads/nsfw content)
- Discord (changing their username system to a bad one)
- Reddit (charging exorbitant prices for their api; $20m per year for Apollo’s developer)
I have been considering a domain name to access hypothetical home servers as of late, just so I don’t have to worry about shit like this.
It’d be nice if they could release a lite variant for those who just want to play Game Boy games.
