Energized is nearly dead and it's going on only with automatisms #916

Hi,
I thank dev(s) for their time and the project, but I am afraid to state that Energized is nearly dead and it's going on only with automatisms.

Main developer @AdroitAdorKhan does not reply to emails or fix issues. If you search for the closed issues, they have been closed by the same author who posted them and the last involvement by dev is 29 October 2021 (#821)

List issues (whitelist or blacklist) had been fixed only by the owner of the original list, for instance I contacted 1hosts to solve this #914.
However, due to how Energized list have been built, searching for the origin of a list issue by an average user is really time consuming since you have to go to https://github.com/EnergizedProtection/block#sources and manually check every source (and they are a lot if you are not lucky)

As far as I learnt:
Energized had huge problems with unresponsive admin(s) ever since 2020, as well as voluntary project team members not being given sufficient GitHub rights to handle all those issues.
Energized have been removed from Blokada (the most prominent adblocker it was included in) for these reasons.

If devs are really reading this, please take actions solving opened issues. Using Energized as it is now, it's deleterious since many sites are just broken and end-users are left at their own.

For users that have no idea where to go now, please have a look at GoodbyeAds, OISD (basic or full) or just find what you like

Best regards
Luca
