They use to tell us we couldnt trust Wikipedia. Now we know. Wikipedia is the only website you can trust.

It seems that this decentralized style starts to be a new trend?

First this Fediverse/Lemmy I heard about. Then The Matrix (messaging platform). And now these Mastodon & WreMin.

Well, if that prevents or slows down the corrupted law of enshittification, then I'm approving it!

A fediverse decentralized Wikipedia substitute would be interesting for sure.

Wikipedia’s massive head start is pretty strong though. With Lemmy, I don’t care if a post has 100 comments while the same article on Reddit has 10,000. The comments here are better anyway. But if a Fedipedia has 1/100 the subjects covered that Wikipedia does, that makes it less useful.

Yup...no matter how good a tool is, if there are no users to it, it might be as good as it never existed (unless if someone takes ideas from said tool and implements them to a user service, growing their quality, which is still better than nothing). Sad but true.
