From a purely content (amount) stance, as well as a feature/usability stance, NexusMods is a superior website. Sadly, they decided to repeatedly megacuck. So the only reason anyone is looking at ModDB is as an alternative to that...but then they want to cuck too.
Having a massive site to host any mods is a good thing, but I suppose we'll have to go back to individually hosted mods at this rate, unless someone releases an alt-tech style mod hosting site. And that would probably quickly turn into a collection of Nazi mods, and 'look how many times we can say nigger' mods. Because that's often how alt-tech works, because the people who were kicked off the other platforms finally have a place to go. Also, the CIA is probably involved.
Seriously, though, from a purely user side of things, I just wish they hadn't fucked up Nexus so badly. Bastards.
NexusMods is only "superior" in so far as they are the household name for mods. Pretty much everyone uploads to NexusMods, so everyone uses NexusMods. Because everyone uses NexusMods, everyone uploads to NexusMods. Because everyone uploads to NexusMods, I end up going crazy. Crazy? I was crazy once. They locked me in a room. A rubber room. A rubber room with rats. The rats made me crazy. Crazy? I was crazy once...
Even then though the mods often get broken as fuck and while I enjoy the gameplay fixes of various mods the graphical mods barely ever seem to work because of how out of date they are. I also don't like the heavy reliance on weird third party tools that you can't even really check if it's installed properly. Classic case of, we desperately need free market competition to introduce some proper moddable games people can play with on the same level.
Generally, the games with mods as bad as you say that barely work and take a shit ton to even get that far are already broken to begin with and the mods just reflect the shit code. I was able to teach myself to mod Darkest Dungeon because its a solidly and simply built game and that made it easy to mod top to bottom.
The Free Market made Bethesda one of the biggest video game companies despite them actively releasing nothing but barely functional broken games that they outsource fixing onto mods. So that isn't something missing from this problem.
NexusMods is based in the UK and Moddb says it's Australia.
Maybe people should look into holding these companies to account legally when they play fast and loose with their terms and conditions.
If this mod were brought to the attention of the UK or Australian courts or government, the most likely outcome is that these websites would get a pat on the back for removing the mod, and an admonishment for having evil racists upload there in the first place.
What exactly can you do at the end of the day? Regardless of our personal feelings on this, they're glorified file hosting services at best, which is why many of them start paywalling in order to cover costs. You don't have a 'right' to other peoples' services if they deny you it even if it's arbitrary bullshit they've pulled out of their arses.
The real answer is providing a proper alternative where people can post whatever they want but of course as I've stated numerous times legally on this site even admins have to be very careful about being in compliance with regulations. That includes if they're ever contacted by the FBI over anything and they've got a warrant, would anyone here ever foot the legal bill for dealing with that if they say no? Of course not. This is why as annoying as I find leftists, people really need to look at the reality of operating a website and not be so naïve.
The hosting operations alone make it very difficult to even do nazi shitposting online even if it's a total troll because any webhosts are going to have very strict policies against that sort of thing. Yes it's completely unfair, because Antifa posts open calls to violence with impunity and doxxes people on the regular, but this is the reality we live in.
It’s one of those thorny situations where I agree in principle that anyone should be able to prevent someone they dislike or disagree with from using their business. In practice, though, that has led to the current situation, where the right fails to establish its own space because the left gatekeeps on every single level. As you said, if the site admin doesn’t kick you off, the registrar or the ISP or the government will.
If one side plays by “live and let live” while the other plays by “use every scrap of power I can to prohibit people from disagreeing with me,” I know who will win.
This is where the right wingers fall into the trap of thinking they can behave like the left and then they get surprised when they get their arses kicked. I see a lot of this attitude towards free market types etc. going "Hurr durr we tried your way and look where it got us".
Except that hasn't been the case, as you point out it's an issue of the governments and ISPs or the webhosts themselves who will always turn on you. It's not an issue of live and let live, the right simply doesn't understand how to effectively lobby and put their people in power the way the left does. It's also why I frequently mock them these days over that because they'll try and pick on easy targets as a way of stroking their ego and why I often tell people to fuck off these days if they have that sort of attitude. Just a general rant on what I've been seeing and why I think they're so useless.

That's where your wrong. We do.
Other agents behind the scenes may be ordering these changes instead of teh business owner and as they are in other countries we can expect them to be held to account because the laws are slightly different there.
Not sure of the legality but if they moved towards being more of torrent rather than direct download, it would lessen the burden and ensure that it is harder to take down. This will never happen for nexus since that would lose them money and a lot. And the left modders would not like it since then they would lose more control over the distributions of it.
Edit: Example of mod that does it is the STALKER Anomaly mod.
You're right, usually these sites will not be independently hosted like say Gab is, they're probably having to obey content policies of the webhosts they use which are often notoriously restrictive.
Ive done mods for 10 years. More and more mod makers are sadly going to patreon. You will only see a fraction on sites like nexus. Unfortunately, that means mods will be hard to find or even noticed.
Ahhh, this mod is from American Krogan. His whole idea of content seems to be race-baiting but in the opposite direction. Get rid of diversity from Fallout for example, then cry victim when the mods ask him why they received so many reports.
typical darvo
gay commies accuse the opposition of what they themselves are doing
they forward their agenda in everything they do and claim it is "normal" then complain about any kinds of pushback as "political"
"They cry out as they strike you."
I hate how they won't let us have nice things.

Don't even have Fallout 4 but now I've downloaded the mod for safekeeping in case I ever do decide to play.
It's also on his Telegram:

I should probably do the same.

Then we can see what excuses they come up with. Didn't the spiderman flag mod only change the country setting to some arab country?
worthless cuck faggots if they remove

Ridiculous
Good thing I downloaded it ASAP. Sure would be a shame if others posted it around a whole bunch.

Surprised it took that long.
Ahhh, this mod is from American Krogan. His whole idea of content seems to be race-baiting but in the opposite direction. Get rid of diversity from Fallout for example, then cry victim when the mods ask him why they received so many reports.
I think he got removed from youtube the same way.
How is removing black people from a setting that never moved past 1950's America "race-baiting"?
I'm waiting for the update that replaces feral ghouls with "teens", "strangers", and "joggers".
Moonman mod: Fallout edition.
if they're allowed to do it, why not him?
No he got removed from youtube for daring to say the Germans during the war weren’t all bad.
