TLDR;

If you're looking for longevity, privacy, or both, avoid Lightless or any other fork that works the exact same way mare did when it was shut down. Odds are they will be shut down soon enough too because they learned nothing from mare.

No one knows the exact reason, but the fact that mare was shut down and lopo which has been around almost the same amount of time has mare has (allowing nsfw lalas in public and is a bad service in peoples minds) was not shut down should be VERY telling

The fact that Lightless did NOT start out more lightweight like others makes me believe that they are taking advantage of the communities desperation to find a replacement to make a quick buck or hoard as much of your personal information as possible.

Its wild that Lightless think its ok to be collecting and storing the information they are as a brand new plugin made by brand new people without building trust with the community like Mare did before implementing any of this

Lightless are doing too much out of the gate for a group of unknowns, perhaps people forget but Mare did not do any of this stuff when it first came out. They should have started based off an old for like Snowcloak did.

They can say Im salty they banned me all they want it WAS true, but I wouldn't have bothered to look into any of this in this depth otherwise. After what I've learned I could care less they banned me from their STALKING plugin.

So, really since Lightless is doing THE EXACT SAME SHIT MARE WAS. It is HIGHLY likely it will be taken down eventually. Since Snowcloak is NOT following this path, they are at MUCH less risk of being shut down because again, Loporrit would have been shut down.

If I had to make an educated guess. I would say that a big part of the reason Mare was shut down was because of the tracking factors, and risk for information abuse. If that were not the case, SE would have also shut down loprrit GitHub repo at the same time.

So what does this mean? If Snowcloak's database is breached, subpoenaed or otherwise taken control of by a bad actor. The cannot definitively link activity to your discord/real identity.

Lightless on the other hand requires mandatory account linking and verification, allowing them to track you in combo with your real IP, recipe for disaster. The ability to use snowcloak WITHOUT linking anything about your account is a massive privacy advantage.

The differences: Snowcloak can register you without lodestone verification, or discord authentication (even though it exists in the code they don't use it) the secret key as in mares early days is primary auth method. This allows you to maintain some anonymity aside from IP and geolocation.

So the question was. Why did Mare get shut down, and NOT Loporrit If they both work the same...
They don't, and by extension neither does snowcloak. They work SIMILARLY. Anyone saying otherwise is disingenuous and sus.

Considering how the community views Mare as the 'good service' and Lop as the bad one. I thought it was very interesting given Loporrits age SE decided to have the Mare GitHub repo shut down, but not lop.
