Another Site Falls to Internet Enshittification

[bedes]

Moved my fandom list page from Rentry. The huge-ass porn banner ads, and the un-closable “support Rentry!” banner when you have adblock, was the final straw. That said, the "URL reclaim" system having its rules be stupidly inconsistent, and, thus, causing multiple of my pastes that I thought followed the rules get deleted with no warning also didn't help. Plus, I've been seeing some people saying that, when they click on links outside of the ad, Rentry treats it as if it was a click on the ad. So if you click any link in Rentry, there's a chance it'll just straight up send you to malware or a porn site. As a treat.

I've moved this information to pastry.diy. I considered a lot of different pastebin sites, but none of them won out over Rentry, given that it is probably one of the best-known pastebin services with decent customization. Pastry.diy relatively new, so I could get all the same URLs as I did on Rentry with no problem, and it's a pastebin service that uses HTML and CSS, which means better customization, as well. My fandom list is at pastry.diy/chara now.

Malware/porn ads and aggressive anti-adblock banner, how lovely (much sarcasm).

At least pastry.diy seems fine? (I admittedly don’t have much experience with pastebin sites, though.) Still, not great having to hop from sinking ship to ship and redo a lot of things :/

Yup, very annoying, although I suppose it's just a fact of the modern internet. The best thing one can do is try to find the sinking ship that seems to be sinking the slowest, and back up everything they might wanna move!
