So an AO3 clone with a fraction of the fic mostly because people have taken a dislike to the AO3 founder or decided everything is racist?
Squideworld looks like it is trying to reinvent the wheel for the sake of virtue signalling.

Squidge has been hosting fic archives for more than 20 years. I remember them from when I was in highschool and I graduated in 2001. They predate the OTW and Ao3. The previous software they were using was very old and no longer supported. This version of their archive is using the Ao3 software because that is what's familiar to people. It allows them to have a multi-fandom archive without coding each page by hand. It's current selection is small because the people who previously used squidge for hosting primarily were small single author sites.

Ao3 was never intended to be the only fic archive out there. The archive code has always been open source with the intention that people would use it to run other archives.
