Utopia Skye Grid will close (most?) Hypergrid access
Utopia Skye Grid will close (most?) Hypergrid access - sh.itjust.works
The commercial, for-profit Utopia Skye Grid [https://www.utopiaskye.com/utopia-skye-grid] has always been mostly “closed”, i.e. only a small handful of sims are accessible to Hypergridders. With the turn of the year, Utopia Skye Grid will “block Hypergrid travels” altogether. Not only won’t Hypergridders be able to enter the grid at all anymore, but Utopia Skye residents won’t be able to go Hypergridding themselves either. Notice, however, that Utopia Skye did not announce that it will turn off Hypergrid access completely and turn into a fully closed grid like TAG Grid or (long-defunct) Inworldz. This most likely means that the Utopia Skye admins are exempt from this block. This will seriously top even infamous Avatar Life which has completely blocked inbound Hypergrid travel while allowing all its residents to go Hypergridding as they please, and which keeps advertising its sims on OpenSimWorld regardless to lure people into creating avatars in Avatar Life. It even used to have a big self-advertising parcel at OpenSimFest up until last year. Also, interestingly, no official Utopia Skye representatives have announced the blocks on OSW. There is no announcement on the official website either. I’ve learned this from a user.

This would require a whole lot of discipline, namely the discipline of everyone always adding all appropriate tags to their content. In a Fediverse which most people use like Twitter/a Threadiverse which most people use like Reddit where there simply are no such tags.
Even if there was a *booru clone in the Fediverse, you’d still have shit-tons of people who upload their stuff with literally zero tags whatsoever because they can’t be bothered. Just like on every last already existing booru.
No-one is willing to build Fediverse software upon discipline as a requirement.
They’re among the very very few Hubzilla hosters. And I think they are the only (streams) hoster.
