First rule of Wikipedia (according to the user guidelines):

“Assume good faith”

Wait, what? Assume what? Good faith? From some fucking goddamn worthless cretin that edits Wikipedia for free? Assume good faith from someone who doesn’t even have a life outside of editing for Wikipedia, where the most meaning in their life comes from internet battles rarely won? Assume good faith from people I KNOW want to destroy me? That only works for the people who have power and the predominant narrative, why should I assume good faith from anyone at all? Especially when the cofounder of wikipedia writes an article about bias on Wikipedia, it’s not even included on the page called Bias On Wikipedia, how am I supposed to assume good faith from anything you retards say? Fuck all of you, I hope you all choke and die.

If we had better wealth distribution we could all run our own small sites, write about the stuff we know about and ensure it is properly backed up by linking to and citing reliable sources of information.

@zleap I'm not sure the problem is wealth distribution, I think even wealth inequality is a more pressing issue. There has never been a larger amount of money owned by fewer people in all of history. Ultimately, corpos, banks, governments and media institutions are all in cahoots, that's the real issue. Wealth distribution/inequality wouldn't be as big of an issue if the systems at play weren't consistently leaning in their favor.

@coyote Agreed,

Don't give up , collectively we are stronger I am not sure what the answer is either,

We need to prove that it is worth being here,k so for example I set up the dcglug on here, so we could reach out, if we get more people interacting here as a result then it demonstrating is worth being here.

I don't want follows to satisfy a personal ego, I would like them to help network and prove a point the fediverse is active and dynamic.

@zleap I wish I had enough time to dedicate to writing my own wiki, but unless you're gwern it's somewhat pointless
