I am a self proclaimed wiki-phile, I always donated when I could. It was kind of like going to the library without the fresh book smell.
Elon Musk and his cult followers are getting pissy with and declaring war on Wikipedia because they think it’s biased against them. So basically, Wikipedia is being dragged into this right wing culture war.
It’s not really a right wing culture war at this point, they’re trying to destroy any source of information not controlled by the rich fascists who’ve seized control of the state.
CIA has their own wikipedia editors. As do most large companies & rich people. Wikipedia is not exactly neutral, but for melon it’s not biased enough.
If you’re seeing hate at wikipedia it is manufactured by Elon Musk.
Someone Luigi this fuck already.
Agreed, but watch out, Lemmy.World has some super shitty bootlicking mods going around deleting any comment that insinuate Musk should have anything less than a perfectly healthy long life. Thinking of switching instances because this one is failing lol.
Here you go:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conservapedia
This has been escalating for like two decades.
Few article I saw, all are very basic and low quality. How’s that ‘escalating’?
The point is that many conservatives have hated Wikipedia for a long time, and Conservapedia is a microcosm of why, not that the alternatives are necessarily good.
