    I’m not sure I see the benefit of this. The point that Wikipedia might eventually become corrupted is made moot by the permissive licensing of the information there. The main challenge of the Wiki format is with fact checking and ensuring quality, which is only made more complicated by having a federated platform.

    ActivityPub is great for creating the social web. The added benefit of ActivityPub for non-social services is not obvious to me at all.

    That said, it’s a cool proof of concept, and I’m sure it can be useful for certain types of federated content management - I just don’t see how it could ever make sense as a Wikipedia alternative.

      I can definitely see it being a better alternative to that Fandom wiki site

        Not everyone here is a developer.

          And some developers are bad at design/css (like me).
