Yeah, EXACTLY. I don't think it's going to blow up (unless there are further really nasty revelations, please God no) and I don't even think most people will leave, but I can see it just becoming more and more irrelevant. I don't think it'll ever be sold like Livejournal (or Twitter, or Blogger, or Tumblr, or....) but the performance issues and spaghetti code are deeply concerning, as is how they just keep keeping on with chewing gum and tinfoil without any real fixes.

It's also a bummer because I've been through the fandom rinse and repeat cycle like a lot of people, from Usenet to blogs to Livejournal/DW to Tumblr to AO3 to....now what? and every time there's a big readjustment and then later, a big hole. (Except Discord. Jamais Discord. Je ne refusarai Discord!)
