Date: July 28th, 2023 07:55 pm (UTC)I am specifically not calling for folks to LEAVE the AO3. I would very much like to see NEW OPTIONS while we have these growing pains.
My biggest concern outside of the tangle of mess that is the OTW right now, is that they accidentally (on purpose?) became THE GAME in archiving. My understanding at the beginning was a focus on getting a stable and workable archive system that could then be adapted for other, more specific archives. Instead, Open Doors has pulled most of those smaller archives directly to the AO3, and few people have wanted to attempt the code sort needed to make the otw-a platform work for them. (I'm on both of the ones that are public at this time, SquidgeWorld and Ad Astra)
I WANT them to untangle the systemic organizational issues and find responsible people capable of the neutrality of character needed to run an archive.
But for now, I personally need to disengage, and hope future!me feels safe coming back.
