Checking out new web services

I decided to check out this new service. It aggregates a whole bunch of other stuff.

Based on what it listed, I checked out every website and signed myself up to check out what I may have been missing. Many things I already knew about, but some of these services were new to me.

2014-07-26 – www.profilactic.com is semi-gone. I don’t think I’ll bother with it anymore. As of this date, their parting message is:
2018-03-05 – There’s been no update.
2019-12-06 – Gone.

This appears to be incomplete, and might have been badly-ported from an ancient system to the earlier system, with information being lost in that transition.

There have been previous and there are current efforts to organize users to resist certain trollish behaviors.

My concern, and my suggested solution runs much deeper.
