My partner is planning to start using the Grimmory (ebook reader) instance I set up on our home network, when AO3 is back up. I suspect this has been a wake up call for a lot of fans that media is not safe in one centralized place.

Seeing how fandom gets undone in less than three days because the content junkies can’t get their fix (and it’s gonna be 4 weeks) has been entertaining (not).
While some people have expressed the sentiment of “when AO3 is back we are going to tell the writers how much we missed them”, the majority response I’ve seen, as gauged on r/ao3 even, is “fuck you and your consent if you don’t get me my fix, I’m gonna pirate your fic upload it to Google for them to use them with AI”. Much of the fandom have literally revealed themselves to be techbros.

restoration will take around two weeks, but could take up to a month
That's a long time.

What’s the deal with the hate for Wattpad?
replies:
We can still read it on the Wayback Machine, but yeah it's not the same if you want to write or read something new.

Could that website (404 media) be any worse?
Even with ublock it has multiple popups, most of the content is spread out past multiple different articles to try and get you to read something else.
Atrocious.

Is it already an aftermath if AO3 is still down? For now I think it's a duringmath, or whatever.
