I was just reading posts on there a few minutes ago and it is now banned. That sub was pretty much just educational, this shit is getting ridiculous.

    Absolutely. Luckily there are a couple I know of that have taken the plunge and have enough initial content that people can see value in it and get interested in keeping it updated, but at the end of the day it’s harder to maintain interest on a dry informative project, I would assume. (as for brigading, account verification kind of like this site counters many of the more casual vandals, and on a wiki I guess you have the ability to screen with actual theoretical knowledge, since it’s expected that you know what you’re talking about if you’re editing. Either that or a vouch from an existing member)

    I don’t have experience with prolewiki.org, but seeing as it has 1000+ articles in the English site and a range of community links, I’d like to think it’s modestly successful. (I checked the About page and apparently it’s explicitly born out of Lemmygrad. !prolewiki I did not know that.

    leftypedia.org has 500+ articles, but this section is what I’m interesting in seeing grow: https://leftypedia.org/wiki/Rhetoric There’s evidently room for improvement and expansion, but those kind of easy-to-link rebuttal pages could be very useful for communities with lots of tourists who don’t need personallized replies to say “This page explains it”.
