Nexus Mods' new owners promise they won't monetise the site to death as users panic at the whiff of venture capital: 'The new owners are here… not sitting in a distant tower, remotely directing us all towards some nefarious goals'

    As a software engineer i always found nexus simply archaic. Hot take but the molding industry might be better off with a new mod index.

      It should all be open source.

      First thing is mods should just exist on free hosting providers for source code like GitHub/Lab etc.

      Then an optional mod manager software that can import mods from these sources.

      Non of this really needs a centralised community, these places already exist thanks to other better suited services like social media

          I mean things like Discord and Revolt, even Reddit is better for communities to discuss things about mods than the Nexus site

            I didn’t down vote you, but Discord is a huge offender regarding enshittification of the internet. Reddit might even be worse.
