[03:47:35] <MirahezeRelay>	 <justanotherdarkmodeuser> yeah i never hopped on fandom, so what changed...
[05:01:09] <MirahezeRelay>	 <elitericefarmer> What is fandom?
[05:38:16] <MirahezeRelay>	 <wickerbasket2540> Advertisement purgatory.
[05:58:35] <MirahezeRelay>	 <elitericefarmer, replying to wickerbasket2540> That sounds horrible.
[06:15:02] <MirahezeRelay>	 <justleafy2003, replying to elitericefarmer> An ad placement platform
[06:29:22] <MirahezeRelay>	 <elisapoly> I think they means in general term lol
[06:29:56] <MirahezeRelay>	 <elisapoly> https://www.oxfordlearnersdictionaries.com/definition/english/fandom?q=fandom
[06:58:34] <MirahezeRelay>	 <wickerbasket2540> Oh. :oof:
[07:49:27] <MirahezeRelay>	 <justanotherdarkmodeuser, replying to elitericefarmer> a wiki's worst nightmare
[07:49:45] <MirahezeRelay>	 <justanotherdarkmodeuser> an abomination that should never have turned this way
[07:51:45] <MirahezeRelay>	 <justanotherdarkmodeuser> ...is what i'd like to say but someone would probably yell at me
[07:53:36] <MirahezeRelay>	 <justleafy2003> Nah, you're right
[07:54:08] <MirahezeRelay>	 <justleafy2003> Wikia took a great concept of a wiki farm and then massacred their platform with endless enshittification
[07:56:01] <MirahezeRelay>	 <justleafy2003> Miraheze took the concept of a wiki farm, and so far, was executed well by being a non-profit, first and foremost
[08:42:23] <MirahezeRelay>	 <raidarr> profit motive is really quite murderous left unchecked
[08:42:59] <MirahezeRelay>	 <raidarr> I put it somewhat carefully because business models that go up while not screwing with customers and just quietly doing what they do well over decades is absolutely possible
[09:04:03] <MirahezeRelay>	 <justanotherdarkmodeuser, replying to raidarr> well steam is probably one of the visible examples
[10:43:05] <MirahezeRelay>	 <thewwrnerdguy> Valve's had its own share of controversies, e.g. lootboxes and apparently Steam didn't even have a refund policy for the first few years. but also it doesn't seem like they're trying to actively make Steam worse
[11:09:54] <MirahezeRelay>	 <kai84> valve love their gambling
[12:23:00] <MirahezeRelay>	 <justanotherdarkmodeuser, replying to kai84> companies are made to make dough though
[12:23:07] <MirahezeRelay>	 <justanotherdarkmodeuser> plus people regard the ceo as a god
[12:23:46] <MirahezeRelay>	 <justanotherdarkmodeuser> compared to roblox's ceo, which considering what he said makes me think he's an disgusting ||pedophile|| and should be wiped off the face of the earth
[12:24:24] <MirahezeRelay>	 <justanotherdarkmodeuser> plus lootboxes can be avoided, not like game features are locked behin that
[13:21:50] <MirahezeRelay>	 <palezenith> In general corporations are usually going to mess up intentionally or not if they get too big
[13:22:01] <MirahezeRelay>	 <palezenith> [1/2] Or not
[13:22:02] <MirahezeRelay>	 <palezenith> [2/2] Since small corporations also do things like that
[13:36:43] <MirahezeRelay>	 <thewwrnerdguy, replying to justanotherdarkmodeuser> well lootboxes have also been heavily regulated by governments across the world, back in like 2015 they were a much bigger problem
[14:45:32] <MirahezeRelay>	 <pixldev> [1/2] how is modrinth worse (numerically) than fandom
[14:45:32] <MirahezeRelay>	 <pixldev> [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/615786602454581249/1538196953026920519/image.png?ex=6a81cd0b&is=6a807b8b&hm=ec5b8021502e5130e06b3efc2b760bc5d55433f7de726876a7e47e9f1b7d2b1c&
[14:47:15] <MirahezeRelay>	 <justleafy2003> Palantir
[14:47:25] <MirahezeRelay>	 <thewwrnerdguy> is this a non-uBO thing I'm too uBO to understand
[14:51:21] <MirahezeRelay>	 <sakurababochka, replying to pixldev> I believe they were bought at some point, and they've got worse since.
[14:51:49] <MirahezeRelay>	 <sakurababochka> They're at least fairly unobtrusive adverts though, in terms of screen space.
[14:52:31] <MirahezeRelay>	 <thewwrnerdguy> oh my god I just visited the home page and it's even laggier than fischwiki
[14:56:20] <MirahezeRelay>	 <pixldev, replying to thewwrnerdguy> this is their desktop app, not website
[14:56:31] <MirahezeRelay>	 <pixldev> I live by uBO
[14:56:39] <MirahezeRelay>	 <pixldev, replying to sakurababochka> Right, that
[19:00:56] <MirahezeRelay>	 <raychewlol> https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1447085856916508794/1488779979008512071/89t55tw.gif
[19:00:57] <MirahezeRelay>	 <raychewlol> HUBALOA!
[19:00:58] <MirahezeRelay>	 <raychewlol> that is all.
[19:01:03] <MirahezeRelay>	 <raychewlol> evil blonderayzer out
[19:26:11] <MirahezeRelay>	 <bartomelow> https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/940312476749275156/1284632096874303559/caption-6.gif
[21:05:46] <MirahezeRelay>	 <raidarr, replying to thewwrnerdguy> relative to the kind of shit that goes on I treat valve's vices as nothing worth shaking a stick at tbh
[23:56:52] <MirahezeRelay>	 <originalauthority> more timeless questions: does anyone have the issue that search autocomplete/dropdown doesn't work on mobile?
[23:56:54] <MirahezeRelay>	 <originalauthority> or is that just me?
