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.
Reality has a well-known liberal bias.
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.
Nothing changed at Wikipedia but FOX told me it was WOKE!
-People who Do Their Own Research!
It is an op by the people who have recently seized power. They do NOT want the free flow of information
Okay, now I’m OoTL—where are you seeing a bunch of folks hating on Wikipedia?
If you’re seeing hate at wikipedia it is manufactured by Elon Musk.
Someone Luigi this fuck already.
For a very long time now, they’ve been great about the more technical topics. But for a lot of the more political articles, they’ve been questionable. Bad sources, saying that sources say things that the sources don’t actually say, leaving out important information, framing things in odd ways. Bunch of dumb drama and edit wars. Heck, even one of the founders left over it.
That, and they solicite donations without telling people where that money is going. I don’t mind keeping the servers running or paying volunteers, but why did they give 5 million to “anonymous”?
They received a 5 million donation from an ‘anonymous’ source, not donated 5 million to ‘anonymous’.
God dammit, I misread it. You’re right.
