I think all big orgs, NGOs, news agencies should do this.
I’m just going to take the opportunity to talk about that Wikipedia is free, it doesn’t have advertisement, all the data is freely accesible and your privacy is respected, is just maintained by donations and the community. Just looking around other platforms I think they do an amazing job, so consider to donate today to keep it that way.
they have more than enough money to keep the server running for decades. not to say you don’t need to donate, but you don’t need to impulse donate every time the big header appears.
I donate about 100 USD a year, give or take. I figured it’s worth it for as much as I use Wikipedia
As someone who can’t afford to donate, I appreciate you.
To be fully transparent I donate 1 dollar a day, I just appreciate what they do, and I would like to have more services that are able to keep it that way, sadly that is not the case.
i think people underestimate the impact having access to wikipedia has had on the world. really an amazingly important part of the internet and the sharing of knowledge
that’s excellent! I wonder if they’ll keep their WT Social network going. Does anyone use it?
I was wondering if they might port it to an ActivityPub instance
Great news!
Beautiful to see Wikipedia throwing their weight into it! Just beautiful to see this spiraling.
I just realized it’s fediverse, I’ve been reading it as frediverse.
I hope custom algorithms become an option. I like chronological feeds but would love to have chronological feeds that show me a post based on my likes after 3 posts or so. It would make it much easier to discover new blender artists like is possible on twitter
I came up with an idea (on my alt account ^.^) to improve discoverability… it’s more focused on instance or group discovery, though it may be doable for users with a probabalistic reverse index for efficiency. See: https://infosec.pub/post/429743
