What the hell?
Edit - Quoting @Allero@lemmy.today
Wikipedia is not currently banned in Russia. But the Russian branch of Wikimedia as an organization is. Also, pretty much nobody in Russia uses Ruwiki, everyone keeps using Wikipedia.
That’s all not to say it isn’t a troubling development, though. But Russians are more likely to access Wikipedia through VPN than to rely on Ruwiki. The game’s not lost.
There’s already Conservapedia.
Filled with “alternative facts”?
I just threw up a little just visiting for 5 seconds.
Just a little?
Very much so. Last I heard the userbase was composed of roughly half truly sincere ultra-conservative nut and half parody accounts attempting to portray ultra-conservative views too extreme and nutty for the sincere ultra-conservatives, and nobody could tell who was what.
Poe’s Law in action.
Last I knew they called the Russia-Ukraine war the “NATO War in Ukraine” and claimed Russia killed over 10,000 “NATO mercenaries” mostly from Germany.
I think that’s satire? I’m not sure, but it feels like satire.
Unfortunately not
I hate this timeline 😅
Well, at least we all have some miniscule power to make it better I guess
