nixCraft 🐧Humans independently edit Wikipedia for humans. They don’t have any Ads or cannot be bullied into removing content. Wikipedia is free from AI slop. No wonder tech bros with AI companies want to eliminate it so that their fake AI text generator can show or push propaganda. Please do not let Wikipedia die. It is an independent source and far more reliable than Gen AI companies. It is a real shame that it comes to this.

@nixCraft Not entirely true. Women and trans people have been bullied and 'mansplained' since the Wikipedia project started. Men writing about something always know better - even if a trans person has three PhDs in the subject. Which is not at all to say that Wikipedia isn't worth protecting - it totally is. But once we've protected it, we need to make knowledge rather than privilege the ultimate qualification.
Colin B.🇨🇦@lmgenealogy @nixCraft what you're looking for exists, and is called citizendium.
@swordgeek @nixCraft I've heard of this but never checked it out. What makes it different?
@lmgenealogy @nixCraft In a nutshell, think of it as "peer-reviewed wikipedia."
It is a wiki co-founded by Larry Sanger with a deep emphasis on reliability, accuracy, and significance. It's a collaborative encyclopedia, but far closer to the 'traditional' model, which has experts reviewing articles before allowing them for incorporation.
Sadly, it hasn't really caught on, and is currently almost invisible.
@swordgeek @nixCraft Kind of like Mastodon - it is what BlueSky claims to be, but everyone goes to BlueSky instead. I will definitely check it out. Thanks!
