This was a good change. Fandom always felt so amateurish even though it’s supposedly a big host. I like things to be more like wikipedia and not some blog masquerading as a wiki.
The Minecraft wiki used to be it’s own thing before moving to Fandom didn’t it? Either way, very happy about this
Yeah, they were previously hosted by Curse until Fandom bought out all the Curse wikis and transferred them to their ad-ridden pile of shit
Yes, it was great back then. I really enjoyed using it until they switched over to Fandom. So glad they got rid of it again.
A big win for the Minecraft community. The wiki experience had gone seriously downhill after Fandom took over.
Good.
It’s reached the point (or had a couple of years ago, which was the last time I went to a wiki hosted there) that it’s virtually impossible to even read an entry, since there are so many ads that the actual text of the article spends more time off the screen than on it.
IMO the worst part is the ads that auto-scroll you to the top of the page after you’ve spent two minutes reading
Going to a site with a terrible autoplay pseudo-podcast that refreshes on every new page is basically the MySpace experience. It’s incredibly difficult, by the way, for small projects to have their wikis deleted and wiki site staff are less than helpful. Always nice for a defunct wiki to rise to the top of search results when the project website hosts quite a bit more identically formatted information but without random penis based articles. I love that.
This is great news. The old site really went to shit the last few years, especially on mobile, with ads using >50% of the screen.
Yes!!! Everyone should abandon that ad-riddled shithole
Surprised anyone can use the internet without uBlock Origin tbh
I just use a different adblock ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Yeah still, the point is how tf do people tolerate the Internet with all the ads.
You should really use ublock
Why? Mine works just fine, and diversity is strength against countermeasures.
Good to hear! I love that the path of exile community did similar.
Mashallah
And there was much rejoicing
I’m trying to figure out how to contact DuckDuckGo, so they can redirect the !mcwiki command to the new site, but no luck so far. EDIT: Nevermind, I found the form.
Hell yes, fuck fandom they’ve ruined so many of the best wikis
ITT: people pretend to actually give a fuck about where a minecraft wiki is hosted just so they can join the rest of the crowds shitting on fandom (deserved)
How many of you commenters actually make frequent use of the wiki and aren’t just using this op to bitch and moan. Can’t wait for Reddit 2.0 here on lemmy.
Whenever I’m playing minecraft, so each time after it gets an update. However I have uBlock Origin so I didn’t even know it had ads
I usually consult the wiki multiple times during any Minecraft session, and I have been frustrated with it ever since they moved to fandom. Back in the day it was a standalone wiki and then at some point after beta it was enshittified. So I’m super excited about this change because it is a huge QOL change to my Minecraft experience
May I ask what you were frustrated with Fandom about specifically?
intrusive ad popups and autoplaying video ads, though this was mitigated when i switched to a mobile browser with ad blocking capabilities
Yeah ads have gotten out of hand on a lot of websites I feel like.
Thank fuck for plugins and extensions for adblocking and script blocking
