    Shout out to both @nutomic for working on Ibis, a federated wiki alternative, and Prolewiki, the pro-worker-wiki.

      Yes. Negating a voluntary union shows who/what they are. I personally no longer believe they are good guys or that wikimedia is un-compromised truth. It has long been possible for the Epstein class to ‘manage’ certain articles towards what they want to show (I learned about it through the Epstein case). Here, the point is that if ONE article can be manipulated by the ruling class - no matter how - they ALL can, and that’s not worth supporting.

      Yes, the wmf has so many problems, especially its bloated administration. Also it’s run by US government regime-change agents like Katherine Maher, who steer the site to pro-US viewpoints.
