I have been preaching abandoning it for YEARS. It's even worse on mobile because the formating is so messed up some links just don't work. And even without adblock, there's so many ads that THEY slow down the site. Just because it's 'free' everyone defaults to fandom and I hate it so much

I think the Doom community successfully avoided fandom.

What’s to stop someone else from scraping their site and hosting a better one? I’ve never heard of anyone who actually likes Fandom.

Minecraft just moved to an official site recently

Terraria (and also most of the bigger terraria mods) is another big one that moved off of fandom a while ago. Wiki.gg is so much better.
