    One thing that this article missed is that CurseForge is not the only mod platform — there’s also Modrinth, which bans most of the things mentioned, on this article.

      Unfortunately modrinth just doesn’t have the feature set and ease of use that curseforge does for creating, automating, and managing content. I don’t like it either, but until someone steps up and dethrones them as THE way to get content, they are the best platform, at least functionally.

      The result of a mod creator uploading to modrinth and not curseforge is simply that their mod will not be included in all of the popular modpacks hosted on curseforge, which is a death sentence for download count and income.

        Curseforge is feature rich because the Israli Military paid for it to be developed most likely as Spyware.

    Unfortunately, online gaming spaces seem to have always been a breeding ground for all kinds of toxic behavior

      Unacceptable. We should make people hosting games responsible for everything said on them, so that only big companies with staff for moderation and lawsuits could host games.

    is this why microsoft made it so they can ban people for what they say in a privately hosted server?

      Minecraft was actually bought by Microsoft from the original creator who had similar views, if you catch my drift.

        I know all about Notch being a massive piece of shit, and am 100% in favor of him sitting alone in his big mansion, festering in his own filth.
