They're trying to become more mobile-friendly and attract more people to wikia, but they're getting backlash from some current users who like things the way they are. Correct. In my opinion, I disagree with a lot of the new updates being made to Fandom. I know most users on fandom (according to staff's "statistics") are using mobile, but it should also be desktop friendly as well for users who can't access mobile devices. I personally have never had any issues with using desktop on fandom. In fact, whenever I'm using fandom on mobile, I switch to desktop mode because I prefer that version over their new "mobile skin". It's much neater and less distracting, and it actualy brings out individuality in every wiki I visit instead of coming to the same Fandom colors on every community. As for announcements, I don't really check my announcements because wikis I've visited from a while ago are showing up in my notifications, and certain users are abusing the feature by linking announcements to chats or irrelevant pages. I could use announcement ignore, but when a user really does have an important announcement, there's a chance I'll miss it. As for the new fandom domain, it basically puts all informative wikis under the "fandom" category. Not every community was created to become a fanbase, and were actually made to give information to people around the web. But you know, this is just what I think. Fandom has it's way of running everything, and it's up to us whether stay here and go with their changes, or move elsewhere or work things out if we dislike the changes. Yep.
