This is one of the proofs. It’s completely understandable in human psychology when people initially goes into denial after being confronted with something shocking like that, as seen in the reactions by many people to the recent partial disclosure of the Epstein Files.

Your darling, Wikipedia, has been conquered by Ruzzia.

No, it was an “anti-contact MAP” who did it. We at here categorically condemn violence and hope that those who’re unhappy with Wikipedia can go to the likes of Grokipedia and HandWiki instead.

dumps.wikimedia.org there you go.

Roblox has a lot of problems in child safety aspects, such as the profileration of so-called condo games and inaction against child predators on the platform. YouTuber Schlep and others tried to raise the issues to Roblox but to no avail, and they had an easier time in collaborating with law enforcement to get chomos on the game platforms arrested instead.

Early this month Roblox, instead of using the banhammer against chomos, turned it against Schlep instead accusing the latter of “vigilantism” despite categorical refutations that Schlep had done everything by the books. It became the final straw as numerous influencers like KreekCraft expressed solidarities for Schlep and began to boycott Roblox.

The controversy got so big that Congressperson Ro Khanna launched a petition urging Roblox to fix its child safety issues and some U.S. states began to sue Roblox.

It’s impractical and unlikely, bordering on impossible. Deletionists have driven a lot of productive contributors out of the projects through shady tactics like “wikilawyering” and gaming the system. You can look at this essay by Gwern to see what I’m talking about.

Because that’s an old habit which is carried over from Reddit.

That’s right. You’re almost certainly looking at the tip of the iceberg. Let’s hope that the discovery processes will be extensive.

Just to be clear, we’re not against the general notion of “free knowledge movement”. Rather we’d love it if there are viable competitors to Wikipedia.

Edit: You can always go to dumps.wikimedia.org to download a copy of Wikipedia encyclopedic articles and start a fork from there.

That’s doesn’t mean that the story isn’t credible though. Here’s a PDF to the court document.

Either way there should be competitors to Wikipedia. One of the promising projects is ibis.wiki but so far there’s no function to integrate Wiki markup yet.

Why is your username Wikipedia sucks lol?

Because this is a multiple-used shared identity by a number of whistleblowers who wants to protect their identity. The lawsuit basically vindicates what we’re trying to warn people about over the past few months.

Thanks! Hopefully there’s a way to incorporate the conversion tool to the federated encyclopedia’s interfaces in the near future.

Ibis really should maintain itself as the competitor to Wikipedia, given recent media attention on systemic issues such as content distortions at Native American history topic area.

Cory Doctorow has a word for the phenomenon: enshittification.
