I don't think I'ver seen a bigger example of deflection & whataboutism than this article.

The problem with all of that is that it all got so tied up in the politics. This is when Trump insisted on calling it the "Kung Flu" or "China Virus", and Asian people were getting attacked on the street. I can understand the emotional hesitancy to give credence to all of that.

Trump started saying "China virus" because the first reaction of the Tard Left was to declare that talking about the origin of the virus at all is "racist." In retrospect, given that the Wuhan lab was funded by USG money, this was probably to deflect attention from the responsible parties.

Wikis of this size and traffic cost $5/month to host. Paying any more than that would be overkill as a <50k Alexa Mediawiki site can easily get by on just 512-1GB of RAM.

As long as someone exists willing to pay that measly amount, it'll probably exist for a long time

Also never underestimate the amount of control freaks who make a life hobby out of acquiring dying communities and treating them as real estate. A shit ton of them exist and it's sad.

Pretty sure RatWiki asks for 4-figure sums like twice a year, and people gladly pay up since if you don't donate to them, then the creationists will win and destroy all Science and Logical Thought in America.
 
This user supports state atheism but would allow believers to practice their religion, build places of worship, etc.

What "what"? This is probably the only sane thing on the page (albeit stupidly expressed in every aspect, from "this user" to open-endedness of "practice their religion" and "etc", to trying to fit his views in the infobox, to putting his retarded views on display at all, to thinking his ideology would benefit from promoting it next to his baby luigi fetish). At the minimum, he doesn't want ceremonial deism. It can also mean treating religion like (other :neckbeard:) fiction: no appeal to religion in the public sphere, no "sincerely held religious beliefs", no religious charities, no chaplains in the military, but also no throwing people in jail for gathering in a decorated hall and having a read-aloud party.

Despite lots of user activity, they often almost forget to pay the server bill, the founder is MIA, and the guys in charge of tech are MIA and spend all day on Twitter
Their software hasn't been updated in years and is highly insecure.

What's amusing is that a company is allegedly set up to operate this wiki. And yet it appears to have no activity outside popping out of the woodwork for a day every 5 years. Only being on Mediawiki 1.27.7 is really something special lol. It only takes an hour at most to upgrade.

MediaWiki 1.27 is an obsolete long-term support release of MediaWiki. Consult the RELEASE NOTES file for the full list of changes. It was deployed on Wikimedia Foundation wikis through incremental "1.27.0-wmf.NN" branches from 29 September 2015 to March 2016 (see details of each branch). The 1.27.0 stable release came out on 28 June 2016[1], and was a Long Term Support release (LTS) which was supported for three years until June 2019.

When your version is that far out of date the automated updates don't work anymore and you need to do a lot of troubleshooting to keep things together. With MediaWiki is if you drop the ball for a year or two it quadruples the work you need to do to catch back up, so their inattention is biting them in the ass and they probably don't want to do it anymore.

Mediawiki doesn't have auto-updates

Although it's true that they might have to do a lot of work if they are unwilling to do a fast update via an XML backup and an XML and image import to a fresh install. For example, if forcing users to recreate passwords is too much. ED and other internet relics at some point chose this fast update route. Did it work out for them well? Not really... But it got the job done.

They give you installers that will (mostly) do the update for you unless you're X versions out of date, rather than manually fucking with your install or doing a reinstall.
