Your entire post history is just defending facebook.

No probs. I got these ones too.

No probs, thx to @phiresky for finding and fixing this one so quick.

Yall remember that time Facebook did an internal study of the massive psychological harm it and instagram was causing teen girls, then kept it secret and did nothing about it?

Dude admitted higher up that it’s not the code, it’s the people in charge who are the problem. So all they’re really advocating for is starting their own Wikipedia.

Replace wikipedia with reddit, and you just discovered the reason lemmy exists. The problem is not just the people, but the code too.

What’s wrong with the Wikipedia CODE that federated CODE will solve and how?

Wikipedia is centralized, and doesn’t allow collaboration by self-hosted servers. Activitypub allows this. You seem to not understand the point of the site you’re using right now.

Why is having alternative sources of information that can collaborate a bad thing?

Why are you even on lemmy, rather than reddit, if you’d rather have a single isolated source of communication?

You completely ignored the article, because it answers your question directly.

What is Wikipedia failing at currently that decentralizing it would make better?

Just like reddit (and many other services), its a centralized US-based service, has a history of scandals and conflicts of interest, has ties to the US state department, and is dominated by a small group of editors (despite its perception as being a universal unbiased knowledge store).

There’s definitely a need to decentralize knowledge, move it away from US control, and allow the collaboration that activitypub provides.

Thx for this work. I banned a lot of the users above, since most of them were just community squatting and had zero posts.

For the inactive communities, use !community_requests@lemmy.ml and we can transfer them as necessary.

Some ideas: Fediwiki, Wikiverse, PlanetWiki…

But its also a good idea to use codenames and go with an animal mascot like we did with lemmy, because you never know if the scope of your project will change (either limiting it, or expanding it).

Also fediverse.observer has a bigger list of software.

Rookie numbers, we gotta bump those up.

I created the software you’re using right now, and I’m fully aware of how fragile this entire experiment is. We’re going up against a system that can throw nearly unlimited resources in brainpower and money to subvert a system. It takes an astounding level of technocratic arrogance to think that you’re immune to EEE, and that you can outsmart that amount of power.

Same. Every time I watch one of the movies (outside of wrath of khan), it feels like I’m watching the worst, most dumbed down episode of any given trek season.

The first two seasons are a bit slow, but still great character building. By the third season, they’ve become a family, and by the fourth season, you’re watching some of the best TV ever made.

Excellent post. I’m convinced everyone arguing in favor of letting facebook or twitter into the fediverse, are just ignorant of the these company’s history, and what they’re capable of.

There is exactly zero reason to let a rabid wolf into your house, or say things like, “but what harm can this wolf do???”

Or mirror O’Brien that thinks nothing of kidnapping Jake Sisko even after Real Sisko saved his life on multiple occasions.

Nice, props to whoever made that site.

To me, Trek is a mash of three great communities, each nerdy in their own way:

• Science-fiction, specifically optimistic mid-century science fiction.
• Theatre / Drama
• Revolutionary Socialism

This article scratches the surface of it.
