Hello! I am glad you enjoyed the article.
Indeed, the development of Minecraft has taken many twists and turns ever since the days of late beta or early official release. While personally I'm not all too bothered by most of them (not even the combat update!), I am definitely concerned about its future with recent developments like the chat report functionality.
Minetest, being open-source changes a lot along the years. I'm glad you're poked in just the right way to give it another look. :)
And, indeed, we've made it to the curation! Congrats to you :)
