Actual criticisms are often very legitimate - but they are lost in the whining. Like I said, the typical Central response to any, even minor, loss of customization is a resounding ragepost, is conspiracy theories about how it's all an evil plot to make every wiki look the same, and often without even considering the other point of view. You may say, "well, they didn't consider our point of view either!" But yet when they open threads and see responses like this, they're not going to be able to consider your point of view because they will have to read through so many hate comments (often not fun) before they do that. We need more reasonable, constructive criticism of Fandom before we're going to be able to work with them. We have brought constructive criticism if you look around the middle of the page — it's only after you posted that it's degenerated into flaming. btw, the "lmao we can just move host" threat often turns out to be a hollow threat. Very few of the wikis that moved off-Wikia ever surpassed them, because they do not have the same search engine advantage. Unencyclopedia + Fallout Wiki + League of Legends Wiki + Dota 2 Wiki + Dayz Wiki + … you get the point. No I'm not. I'm saying that renaming navbar text sounds very reasonable because it won't significantly alter how the navbar works, will still allow it to feel familiar across different wikis, and have no potential to break it. I'm also saying that feedback like that is much more reasonable and is much more likely to receive a response, and consideration, from Fandom Staff. I know that if I were staff, I would be more willing to work with and respond to something like that, than "OMFG staff taking away customization, everyone go move offsite!!!!!!!" Once again you're using the Strawman Fallacy — whenever anyone disagrees with you, you compare their criticism with whining.
