There is, weirdly enough, more hope for AO3 and the OTW as institutions because all of this scrutiny is on them to update their front end + back end systems than there would be if we didn't know about it. The fact that it was formed by fandom is both a failing AND a saving grace, because fandom is BIG and DIVERSE and AMAZING!
Don't lose hope: we can do this!
I am grabbing an ID and backing stuff up at Squidgeworld for just-in-case, but that doesn't mean that I and other people are not really invested in saving the OTW and AO3. I just gave $10 to get to vote in the upcoming elections, actually, so if you have spare cash and want to read up on the candidates for AO3's leadership, you can do that.
