Remember that slope? They're jumping off it now.

So, a bunch of the admin staff are quitting. This Bluesky thread has been keeping track of the resignations so far and goes into detail about the behind the scenes drama: https://bsky.app/profile/echoen.bsk...../3l7myvup4fy2t
However, one thing that has stuck out to me was this post here: https://bsky.app/profile/echoen.bsk...../3l7n24bqi3d2w . Turns out, all that other crap they've been doing since the AlertPay crisis all the way back in 2010? Completely unprovoked. FA's not had an issue with a payment processor since then, but has been tightening restrictions anyway and using rumors of processor interference as a smokescreen.
They had been surrendering this site piece by piece in advance. Not only did they never try to stick up for us, the users and the community, but they were chickening out before there was a fight to be had.
I'm a tad bit miffed about that.

yeahhh probably if best everyone just archives their stuff for the time being then. Just to be on the safe side.
