    i’m so unbelievably pissed off that a petty discord drama over two people getting banned killed the only major non-fandom-wikia farm out there. and it wasn’t even financially unstable, they were fully funded.

      Do you have a source on what happened? I hadn’t heard anything about this, and the linked article doesn’t say anything other than “recent events.”

        I’m curious too. It was a very good service and I’m really sad to see them go.

        The Mastodon account has a bit more info, though it doesn’t go into the details.

      there’s been a severe lack of volunteers for a while, there’s only 4 people left on the team after the recent fallout.
