Wonderful news, the less traffic fandom gets the better.
Everyday I thank god for breezewiki and antifandom, and curse people who give any traffic to that shit. I remember when wikis for games were amazing, and informative. I think the game that broke me when I saw the most popular wiki for it was fandom was elden ring.
I have absolutely no clue what you are talking about. Can you educate me a little bit with some pointers? I'll research the rest then.
There's an addon called libredirect which will point you to open source alternatives for many nasty websites out there. Fandom has at least two 'mirrors' that you can get to by replacing fandom with breezewiki or antifandom in the url.
Thanks for the explanation. But I actually wanted to know why Fandom is so bad.
You'll have to decide for yourself, but there are plenty of people talking about it in these threads:
Thanks! That was insightful!
This new wiki will be 100% ad-free, forever.
Can't overstate how great Scryfall is to the community.
Great, and I absolutely love scryfall, but in the name of sustainability, how do they get funded?
I wondered the same thing. Looks like they have a Patreon account and also accept donations directly.
You can see their donation links in the site's footer.
Including a patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/scryfall/
Nice
