Comment on ‘Wake Up Call:’ Fanfiction Writers and Readers React to AO3 Outage

Wasn’t the point of AO3 that nowhere else was willing to host it?

  No, just no corporate-owned users-as-a-product site. Millions of people are willing (and already do) host downloaded files from AO3 on their phones and computers. That’s redundancy.

    They’re hosting the content from their phones for other users? What’s the mechanism for that because that sounds really useful.
