I think it would generally be nice to have, but it’s probably copyright infringement of the original authors and after it gets federated a bunch of servers end up hosting it. Probably best not to give people a reason to come after kbin and lemmy.
My guess is that it’s younger/newer/more causal internet users who don’t remember the days when the internet wasn’t just, like, 5 websites. I wouldn’t be surprised if the audience on kbin/lemmy skews older since that would be the cohort that was used to forums and an early web that was more shifting and moving, and would be more comfortable packing up and going to another site. Linus Tech Tips made the great point that there’s been a shocking period of stability on the internet with Twitter and Reddit as institutions, but that maybe that time is coming to a close.
I think it’s not possible for them to make modding tools that are as powerful as DLL plug-ins like SKSE. While they can try to cover their bases with modding hooks, the reality is that they can’t think up everything that a modder might want to do and so DLL mods will still exist. And because DLL mods involve modifying the game code to do literally whatever (including potentially turning it into a completely different homebrew game, hacking the console, or even booting an OS), the problem with that and consoles is that the console makers do not want arbitrary, unsigned code to be running on their consoles.
No matter how many official hooks are added for modders to use, the PC platform will always have strictly more powerful mods.
