mania.systems has shut down a few things, too
I also shut down a few things that nobody was really using at all.
Specifically, the mania.systems WriteFreely and invidious instances are no longer running.
If folks would find it useful & there's enough demand, I'm definitely willing to consider spinning them back up.
But also, there's now the official mania.systems chat channels.
There's a number of channels available either on our IRC server (see https://mania.systems/pages/irc.html) or on our Discord community (see https://mania.systems/pages/discord.html)
You can join using either - they're bridged together, so it's one cohesive chat community. In the interests of i-hate-discord, I'd rather see folks use IRC, but either is good!
