thank you so much! ^^

I know the cat is webneko, so blocking that script with uBlock should work. https://webneko.net/

idk if this is really all that helpful but ive always just inspected people's code and edited the code so the cat's javascript isn't there :,)

i don't normally use noscript, but i tested it and it automatically blocks the cat script! https://noscript.net/

Thanks all!

thank you!! :D <3

Also, hi! Sorry for the radio silence these past couple of weeks. Stardew 1.6 happened.

I agree 100%. It's really frustrating to keep track of information on Discord when a lot of the information could be hosted on a website instead.

There was once a Discord server for a Minecraft mod which I was in, and it contained a gallery where users could share content they made for the mod in question (an avatar customisation mod). Some time last year, the owner went rogue and deleted the server. If I had to guess I'd say about two years of art and memories disappeared at the press of a button. Discord servers were never meant to be permanent.

This is a really good post. I agree wholeheartedly. Unfortunately though, esp in the case of FFXIV mods, I think people are actively avoiding a truly public option. It seems that people want some ability to moderate who accesses their information, even if they don't actively do so. I'm not entirely sure why this is, other than one mod creator I know of getting harassed off of the main modding sites by transphobes.

Adequate moderation is definitely necessary to ensure that public online spaces remain safe enough for people to want to be there!

I liked reading your post a ton! I didn't even know Discord was adding ads (or, as they call it, Quests, bleh). I wholeheartedly agree with your stance, and it's so easy to make a website to host your information nowadays! I am definitely also going to give UpNote a looksee, it looks really good!
