     @rastilin@aus.social Yes, it's also proprietary service as a software substitute so you can't host it yourself like MediaWiki, XWiki and similar software.
     
     Unfortunately I still find myself on Fandom quite often because they do host a lot of information that is not available anywhere else.
     
     Thankfully Fandom is still a readable website with adblockers and javascript disabled tho, this is how I browse Fandom if I end up there.
     
     I would never contribute to a Fandom wiki page, as I definitely don't agree with their TOU. I wouldn't get an account.

     The Fandom wiki does seem to be something of a blight. Even when they're empty they crowd the search results, they're filled with ads, they're wayy to slow even while empty. Just awful in every way.

     @SuperDicq @rastilin There is a Fandom frontend available, which mitigates much of the issues; https://breezewiki.com
     
     It's included in libredirect.

     @Suiseiseki@freesoftwareextremist.com @rastilin@aus.social I keep forgetting about libredirect, I should install that on all of my machines.
