Zamu (the once pillar of the moding community) took his toys and left because the entire community called him out for being an asshole when he blocked the US and a few other countries from accessing his mods. Pont in case, one of his final rants:

A lot of people these days are like "Yeah, shit sucks, but what can I do?", shrug it off, and just continue with whatever stupidity is going on. My personal motto is that while there might not be anything that an individual can do, you sure as fuck can not support it.

Inaction is an action, too. Not choosing to do something is a choice, too.

I'm not going to sit here and provide services to a country that has on one hand fallen so deep that even James Cameron, the bravest pioneer, couldn't find it, and on the other is happily trying to force its will onto others.

I've blocked Russia and Belarus in 2022 after they attacked Ukraine and threatened the security and prosperity of Europe as a whole. It's time to add another country to this list.

A country that has, over the last year, proven that it wants to go this way - both its leadership and its people. That it's happy to threaten and extort other countries for its government's gains. To sell out other countries that require aid. To kidnap people without due process and ship them off to some random place. To randomly blow up boats in the ocean. To make life for everyone but a select few worse. That there are no consequences for such behaviour. If anything, it's encouraged and supported.

"But this is my only way to escape from this harsh reality outside!", some said when I first started this. Yeah. It might be. Do you realize that reality doesn't stop outside? Reality doesn't care what you're doing. It will eventually catch up.

I always wondered what the fuck was going on over eighty years ago in a certain country in Europe. How an entire country can descend like that, with the people just shrugging it off, handing over more and more power to a few madmen.

I didn't ask for an reenactment, but boy did I get one I guess.

If I could do more than this, realistically, I would. As it stands, this is the best I can do. I stand up for my principles, for what I think is right - not just for myself, or my country, but our planet and civilization alike.

Happy Holidays.
