Questions and Concerns regarding NextDNS current status

Dear NextDNS Team,

 

I'm a paying subscriber for almost a year. I really like your service and consider it to be overall better than alternatives like Control D. Sadly, the service doesn't seem to be well maintained anymore recently. It feels like only the very minimum of maintenance is being done and many issues, including critical ones, aren't addressed. The community is pretty much ignored on your Discourse forum and GitHub. Speaking of GitHub, your repositories are all inactive and unmaintained and probably out of date too. There haven't been any noticeable updates in a while. Beta features aren't developed any further and the categories stay as they are, full of harmful or outdated filter lists, a very small amount of services you can block, etc. I'm very disappointed about the current status of NextDNS and already looking for alternatives which I can use for myself and the people I care about. I hope you can explain to me why this is the case and how the near future of NextDNS looks. I would also appreciate it if more communication with the community would happen.

 

Kind regards

    GitHub inactive? I'm not sure where you are looking but the CLI has been updated very recently.

    You mention critical issues, which ones are they? No need to name all of them, just one or two will do.

       The pinned repositories ones alone are showing very well what I'm referring to.

      1. Outdated, discontinued, or even harmful filter lists are not removed.
      2. Parental Blocking has a lot of false positives, domains which are wrongfully not blocked, and a lack of adoption of popular sites like Threads or Bluesky.
