At a time of rising authoritarianism, the Wikimedia Foundation faces a choice it may celebrate—or regret—forever

    It’s likely that the editors and principles have been betrayed by this point and thus Encycla and ibis.wiki should be the places we can flock to.

      First time I’m hearing about either of these which is going to be a problem.

        I hadn’t either but tbf most people hadn’t heard of the fediverse until that Reddit thing. In this case the entirety of Wikipedia could along with an exodus, should one be warranted

          Most people still haven’t heard of the fediverse. We’re in a tiny bubble here, an insignificant fraction standing disconnected from the vast majority of the population.

      What are the differences in those sites’ governance which would immunize them from a similar legal attack by the BJP?

      They probably don’t have half the legal staff of Wikipedia.
