“What I can tell you is that over the years, conservatives, libertarians, were just pushed out,” Sanger said. “There is a whole…army of administrators, hundreds of them, who are constantly blocking people…that they have ideological disagreements with.”
“Oh noes, people in Wokepedia aren’t willing to accept my opinion that gravity doesn’t work on Fridays!”
“Wikipedia is losing its objectivity @jimmy_wales,” Musk posted in 2022.
If you’re really, really invested on 2+2 being five, then 2+2=4 becomes “subjective”.
In my opinion Wikipedia being hosted in USA is a liability. Or even being hosted in a single place, whichever it is.

I agree about the liability part. My interest was piqued during the so called Twitter files, when reporting was something like the bosses of twitter, Facebook and Wikipedia sat in a weekly (or was it monthly?) meeting, where they were told what controversial topics to “tamp down” on. I found it very weird, especially since I cannot imagine how one “tamps down” on a wikipedia article?
I think the much harder part is how would you go about democratising a website?
