[04:13:55] Not surprising, honestly. 😭 [07:19:21] yes [07:19:23] https://www.axios.com/2026/02/04/fandom-hires-jay-sullivan-ceo [07:20:05] I mean, there's nothing bad and major that happened just yet ever since he became CEO [07:20:15] but I'll give Fandom a few weeks to fuck up again tbh [07:40:05] oh, i thought they replaced the ceo with ai [07:40:09] now i'm disappointed [07:40:32] My day is immeasurable and ruined. [08:45:32] [1/2] I finally decided to get back to work... just to avoid the wiki being closed [08:45:32] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/615786602454581249/1476500418321190974/SPOILER_.PNG?ex=69a159ab&is=69a0082b&hm=e1d85f4200465f994abfc014b75040af875b9b7d20cb2af2d40262a7ea1705fa& [09:10:30] Oh my god...bruh [10:49:29] [1/2] I'm gonna be more active on my own private wiki, just to avoid the deleting of it [10:49:29] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/615786602454581249/1476531613201469623/SPOILER_.PNG?ex=69a176b9&is=69a02539&hm=7b5bd49bdc1ac7cca2815c34271ec4b5b04a812259485cf5553087cfd434b837& [10:50:12] [1/2] LMAO, the wiki is private, but i wrote the rules to myself tof loffolow them by myself [10:50:13] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/615786602454581249/1476531794726752329/SPOILER_.PNG?ex=69a176e4&is=69a02564&hm=0c530641272be01815d84b50fc837366ec447aeb231b498c6cc13ed72eca7857& [10:51:18] why is the projectspace not localised [10:53:17] I didn't know the game is needed to be localized and i don't know how to do that [10:54:31] Special:ManageWiki/core [12:13:38] [1/2] The rules in question [12:13:38] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/615786602454581249/1476552789118419038/SPOILER_kkkk.PNG?ex=69a18a71&is=69a038f1&hm=80df8813173a1ea3224357fdd691cb96814aa2ffd29321ed311b7780bf113ad4& [12:42:25] [1/2] Rough Yandex Image translation: [12:42:25] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/615786602454581249/1476560032655999158/image.png?ex=69a19130&is=69a03fb0&hm=e2d511ab8af7ef6206b9cdbd4477fd49f58a83b5c94ed9c2e9a60e966b393f03& [13:27:06] three weeks is just a warmup period, we've seen nothing yet [13:27:21] certain world administrations have spoiled us with major nonsense occuring on the first day [13:57:09] Surprisingly, it translates in the right way. I usually use DeepL or Reverso translators [14:12:23] Yandex is Russian. So I think they should know how to translate properly. [14:16:18] This is why I use Yandex for Russian translations, they're usually pretty good about it, but not enough to trust it as a pure translation. [14:17:01] Because it's not as simple as A = cyrillic character, B = cyrillic character. Each language has it's own complex set of rules and some have gendered terms ( I don't know if Russian does, it might? ). [14:18:55] yup [14:20:24] [1/2] I hope fandom will be closed someday [14:20:24] [2/2] Yes, i'm really evil and mad [15:39:33] oh fuck i left the computer on didnt i [15:39:49] [1/2] 41 FUCKIN HOURS [15:39:49] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/615786602454581249/1476604678082138185/image_2026-02-26_103937642.png?ex=69a1bac5&is=69a06945&hm=832912454c6779cb5bd66f516140f02e80dc531f958e6467d825bee84f6a1de5& [16:45:11] with that, I do hope every wiki, that's not a fandom counterpart of a forked wiki, gets saved [16:46:06] though if they do close someday without prior notice what will happen to those wikis unaware of such thing happening? [16:46:23] idk [16:46:33] but hey, at least I backed up all of my wikis that are still stuck there [16:50:43] and weird gloop also backs up all wiki.gg wikis [17:05:05] I back up to 7 places though is that too much? [17:05:07] Most of them will probably disappear frankly, not much to be done about it [17:05:47] Also, I think many wiki farms will die quite quickly - Fandom probly will last due to all the ads, Miraheze as it has a base of users... [17:05:57] And many self hosted wikis will die once money drys up [17:06:27] Yeah, a lot of the issue tends to be money [17:06:48] They (universe) should make wikis free to exist independantly forever /silly [17:07:07] I mean, I could probly affford a host if I was not buying Discord decors [17:08:00] I remember nearlyfreespeech.org has cheap "Pay what you use hosting" but trying to work out if there is a catch [17:20:53] it might not be completely intuitive to use at a first glance since it likes to do things its own way, and if you have an activity spike you pay for that spike which suddenly becomes not so cheap if it is sustained [17:21:18] I'm not quite sure how it responds to ai incursions, I know it has built in stiff rate limiting against bot activity [17:34:10] I would probly just get a VPS or something [17:34:44] Would you say a VPS or nearlyfreespeech.org is better? [17:38:43] depends on the vps I guess [17:39:20] I find nfs best for static hosting type sites and haven't used it very heavily for stuff like mediawiki outside limited deployments I swapped with other things [17:54:54] Well, my plan was a 2GB VPS to host the main wiki and maybe the WIP wiki [18:00:41] probably fine [18:19:22] Astro is a breeze for static sites [18:19:41] I have a static landing page that I just host alongside the wikis [18:19:45] Can be deployed to CF workers to ~£5 a month for 10m requests [23:10:27] i love baby globe https://bsky.app/profile/wikipedia.org/post/3mfpcsbdkuk2s [23:18:07] Awwww [23:18:13] Cute little thang [23:28:54] don't you guys just love randomly clicking links around a wiki [23:30:04] It's so fun [23:30:27] Another fun thing to do is like. Wikipedia speedruns but on Fandom wikis [23:32:38] (Fandom as in for like shows and stuff not the company :angel_teehee: )
