[00:53:02] [discord] I just found a negative Miraheze review that isn't related to reception wikis: https://www.trustpilot.com/reviews/63aab1ab2338b6d417a7ea09 [01:01:26] [discord] Is it bad that it made me chuckle out loud? [01:05:09] [discord] Let's see... [01:05:31] [discord] 1. "limited MediaWiki extensions": Uh, you can enable more with Special:ManageWiki/extensions [01:06:21] [discord] 2. "Miraheze admitted that there was little chance of data recovery on November 29." I don't think any Miraheze volunteer said anything remotely close to that [01:07:10] [discord] 3. "A mere five days after I could have created my first backup, the wiki went down again on December 18." This is why it's important to back up your wiki [01:08:17] [discord] 4. "Why is Miraheze the only free wiki farm with no ads? Because you'd be naïve to run one and you'd have to be stupid to rely on one." This gives off "Miraheze is bad because of reception wikis" vibes, Miraheze is mostly stable from my experience, and with no ads [01:09:02] [discord] The fact that the crux of the rant is the fact that they got absolutely bodied for not making backups is what makes it so hilarious to me [01:10:14] [discord] Because even with paid hosting, shit happens, server rooms burn. If you never make a backup once in your life you're gonna end up crying whether you pay $0 or $50 p/ year [01:11:47] [discord] 5. "But one week of downtime later, on December 26, they admitted that—and apparently this really happened—someone unplugged a hard drive while in use, and—for wikis alphabetically after "O"—their edits after November 25 were completely lost. No chance of recovery." Good job, this is actually what reseating is! [01:12:59] [discord] 6. "So I've been burned by Miraheze twice." Not really, you just got really unlucky [01:14:42] [discord] 7. "If your wiki is worth more than $50 a year to you then there is no reason to choose Miraheze over a commercial web host." But what if you can't pay $50/year? Miraheze surely has to be a good option then? [01:15:03] [discord] Y'know what, I could actually make a whole wiki roasting bad reviews paragraph by paragraph [01:15:31] [discord] But it would probably be too similar to reception wikis, which can't be created on Miraheze right now [01:17:04] [discord] But if I was certain that it would be a thing, I'd probably call it "Rant Roaster" [02:12:44] [discord] i'm probably a little weird, but i like seeing an article like that considering that the db actually did go down perhaps because my whole world expanded... this usually doesn't happen when things go wrong. after db141, i actually felt i had more control over my wiki here than i ever had with my websites with other hosts. [02:40:49] [discord] unless the company encourages people to leave ratings on trustpilot then most trustpilot reviews are exclusively negative [02:41:03] [discord] people rarely go out of their way to tell people that something is good [04:08:28] [discord] I did, but my very special review was from October 2022 🤣 [04:25:11] [discord] lmao i see [23:03:57] [discord] I'm the author of this extension - thanks for sharing it here! There are a few Miraheze wikis listed so far, and anyone is welcome to submit wikis via https://form.getindie.wiki [23:03:58] [discord] [23:03:59] [discord] Reviews also appreciated 💕
