If everyone just actively boycotted that site, it would become irrelevant overnight. Anything else is simply condoning it continued existence. Don't kid yourself.

Some people are always upset with change.
I can respect resisting pressure to be part of the hearing world, but there are certainly ways in which deafness impacts one's safety and opportunities. Not being able to hear sirens, or oncoming trucks, or cars honking their horns, or cyclists saying "on your left", or fire alarms makes the world less safe for you (and for others who may have the expectation you can hear them)
I'm certainly not saying this to suggest people should be forced to join the world of the hearing if given the option, but I do think doing so would be the responsible option, if it's a readily available one.
Kind of like I don't expect people to learn other languages than their native tongue, even when it's a language spoken by the majority in their place of residence. But if you don't speak the language spoken by the majority, and are presented with the opportunity to instantly learn it (like "I know Kung Fu"-Matrix style), I certainly think it would be more responsible to do so.
For what it's worth, it's generally thought that deaf drivers are safer drivers. See https://www.handspeak.com/learn/280/.

ADA requires fire alarms to include visual alarms (as in flashing strobes) for this reason.
I still occasionally hear things about how the more academic-styled functional languages can't work in production, but Ocaml shows that it absolutely can work, even with high performance requirements.
I think the main bit I love so much about it is having actual tables instead of the Infinite Grid that most spreadsheet software uses. You get named ranges for free, and it makes semantical sense too, among a good number of other benefits (sheet organization, refactoring, simpler styling...).
There are some really nice things that Google Sheets does, and I've done a few fancy things with App Script which isn't too bad, and I do really like QUERY though I wish it was a bit higher power. I just always find myself missing the UX of Numbers, though.
Wikiquotes could be appropriate. Submitting a dump of the entire database to Archive.org could be appropriate. (For example, Archive.org hosts user-submitted dumps of things like product manuals, old TV shows, old computer games.)
[1] And even if submitting required licensing the contribution under some Wikimedia-friendly license, considering each person included in a quote would also have to agree to such a license... and I have a feeling bloodninja wasn't following up their conversations with "would you mind sending me a signed release of the above six (6) messages under a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike license version 3.0?"
You're also right about todo apps assisting in their procrastination. That's why I kept NowDo so simple, there are no superfluous features to tinker with like labels, due dates, or categories.
