State of affairs for technology seem bad? But what is being done to change it? And what could be done by you so it changes at least for yourself?

A person that sees no solution has no reason to keep going.

We host wikis on behalf of game studios and other companies using MediaWiki. Weird Gloop began as a company formed in 2018 to move the RuneScape Wiki from Fandom to an independent website, and we've since helped other wikis do the same thing, including the Minecraft Wiki and League of Legends Wiki.

While we're on the topic, for wikis currently on Fandom, there's also replacing "fandom" in the URL on fandom wikis with "antifandom". For example, change minecraft.fandom.com to minecraft.antifandom.com. It'll remove the crap formatting and ads everywhere and put it back to the useful format fandom wikis used to use around 2008ish, pre-being-gobbled-up.

The last/only blog post from them was Oct 2024. I see nothing on their site about how or why to use their services, or what they're even offering.

Excellent! Fandom has deeply trashed up the internet
