Nobody should be obliged to host bigotry. That's not "censorship" in a way that matters.

But if their argument is that you can simply ignore mods you disagree with, then those individuals should stop brigading against and whining about, say, a mod that enables queer relationships. As their own arguments imply, they can simply ignore those mods.

They should really pick a side instead of cherrypicking what's convenient for them.

The problem with that it's not "wherever they like", it is github 99% of the time. It is easier to fix when github enshitifies completely, but it will still require fixing

Really? I onyl use VPN for reddit and don't have an issue. But then again there is a lot of VPN's out there, they would have to find each endpoint to block.

Here is a monetization "cheat sheet" that the CEO posted on LinkedIn which is linked on Chosen's main page if you scroll down: https://i.imgur.com/ztjS4K7.jpeg

In the CEO's LinkedIn profile it says this:

Working closely with teams at NexusMods and beyond to build meaningful, sustainable experiences

If I had to guess the acquisition details are under some sort of NDA right now

Yeah he could have reached out to the community to find someone to run it who would act ethically.

He does deserve that, but I wish the single biggest modding hub on the internet and a load bearing pillar of an entire gaming culture wasn't sold off to an unnamed party with no transparency and only vague reassurances that "nothing will change".

What with the late stage capitalist society we're living in, I've been conditioned to think that good things being sold off rarely amounts to good things.

Let's hope this is one of the few exceptions.
