Featured on May 27, 2024 by Null: Former Kotaku journalists have mass-reported a blog which tracked their progress through the industry.

Wix has taken down @SmashJT's website for Kotaku Identified, a blog which tracked games journalists who moved on from Kotaku including to video game development. They've mass-reported his blog for privacy invasions, so Wix stole his domain and the archive of his entire blog.

Well I guess Wix is on the shit list. Once again, the free internet shrinks.

Amazing what simply tracking their progress does to them. Even though I'm sure much of the information was publicly available.

Not saying he deserved it, but why would he trust Wix? I mean, wouldn't he have suspected that our pozzed tech overlords looks out for one another?

These censorious IT faggots makes me MATI.

It's really hard to overstate how few people know how to competently self-host. The fact that all major hosting platforms are incredibly pozzed significantly harms freedom of information and the average person's ability to publish.

fun fact: the guy who did this take down, nick Calandera was a part of "second wind", aka the escapists' sloppy seconds, also known as the guys who let jim sterling on interview talk about how he has a baby he "threatens with making them it's father"
 
But tracking anyone who streams the wizard game is A-OK guys! And Alyssa Mercante keeping a list of any youtuber who ever made a negative video about her, specifically asking her simps to dig up dirt on them and contacting SmashJT's wife and telling her he's a horrible person is also fan-dabbie-dozy!

Seriously, Mercante needs a lolcow thread and she needs it yesterday.
 
Couldn't he just repost the entire stuff somewhere else? Or is that data also gone? I mean he must have local copies of it (yes here is the naive idiot speaking)
 
This is really unfortunate. Shame really. Hopefully it can be picked up elsewhere. Was it jsut archived in way back machine?
 
Oh God, Nick Calandera is dangerously close to Yahtzee. Is he going to go full woke as well? He already showed signs of it with his Hogwarts Legacy review, but even he has to realise that going woke would fucking destroy his whole brand of being a cynical misanthropic bastard. If Yahtzee goes woke then stop the planet and let me off right now.
