I will not be participating in exchanges held only on AO3. If the mods allow for posting to their comm, or an alternate site with link back, I will. But I know that defeats the purpose of being able to assign matches automatically.
I am okay with not participating because of this.
It is my HOPE that I see clear changes at OTW's management of the AO3, and I might some day return to it.
Until then, I will handle any events I run as a 'post where thou will and link back to the comm'. I have one major event planned, communal_creators, and plan to put a collection, VOLUNTARY USE, on Squidge World's archive for folks that wish to share that way. And will be doing link round ups if it is used.
I really don't think the AO3 user base is being impacted enough to dent any of the major exchanges, honestly. There's not that many of us squawking to take things elsewhere. I am VERY hopeful that the one candidate interested in smaller, fandom specific archives, is able to get the AO3 code in a state that makes it easier to deploy for anyone wanting a return to decentralized archiving.
