It’s possible, but I don’t doubt that there’s going to be a continued push to consolidate people into smaller and smaller parts of the internet- quite possibly through legal means, but definitely through as many commerical ones as possible.

I don’t have a lot of faith in the perseverance of the vast majority of websites, not because of their lack of willingness or desire, but because of a lack of funds.

People get poorer, needs get more expensive and things like this place become harder to keep running.

You are right, though, that it’s not written in stone. I will try to hold out a metered measure of hope.
