insane to me that anonymous q&a sites are somehow the hardest thing imaginable to keep up when it's literally just "submit question to user, let user read question"

and yet they keep fucking it up

they keep bloating it into something "bigger" (see: "worse") by adding following, feeds, media upload, and overall trying to spur it off into yet another generic social media feed site

nobody asked for that, we just want to submit and receive anonymous questions

like most people just use it by screenshotting questions and posting them elsewhere anyways, a dedicated feed of answers isn't needed

but then of course you couldn't turn it into a failed startup, which is exactly what the smoothbrains at Neospring have decided to do

Neospring was killed off by its creators because they weren't able to make money off of it. So they made a bloated social media Mastodon-clone that's invite-only and in order to join without free invitation you need to pay for a monthly "supporter" account.

They claim the reason for Neospring's shutdown is "due to lacking features that our new site has!" while also putting Neospring users on blast for daring to push back about the shutdown and migration to a paid platform with more restrictive TOS than Neospring.

Fuck Tetratto, fuck your failed startup shit, fuck your whining about users wanting to use your free website for free, nobody asked for your bloated garbage. WE JUST WANT AN ANONYMOUS ASK SITE THAT ISN'T A TUMBLR BLOG AND DOESN'T BAN FOR ADULT CONTENT. IT'S NOT THAT MUCH OF A REQUEST, IS IT???

Puzzles Made of Broken Glass

Stats: Teen and Up; No archive warnings apply; Gen; Batman-- all media types; 95,121 words (so far); 11/17 chapters (so far)

Synopsis:

Sherlock Holmes retreats to his Mind Palace to think, to problem-solve. Superman has his Fortress of Solitude, reportedly. 9-and-five-sixths-year-old Tim Drake has his Blanket Fortress.

Timmy Drake’s parents go missing. He’s the only one who notices.

Review: I love thatcuriouscat with all my heart. This story is still in progress but it is the perfect blend of feral Tim Drake and young Jason Todd. The family shenanigans are off the charts and the mystery is captivating. I also love all the incorporated quotes referencing classic kid detective series!
