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'

    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.

            That’s not my point though, they’re much better at holding discussion and keeping people updated than the Nexus mods site was
