    Ever since Covid19 I heard people saying “Wikipedia is not objective”. Initially, a hard argument to go against, but my ultimate answer is this:
    Encyclopedia Britannica is not objective either. No *pedia is, online or otherwise. Nothing is. And still Wikipedia is one of the best options out there, not lastly because of how it’s organised. [That said, it does have - usually right-wing - strong bias in places, esp. non-English content which would need more eyes.]

    I’m not surprised this is now mainstream MAGA speak.

    I just hope Wikipedia is still international enough so that its content is ultimately out of the US government’s reach.

    They already have Conservapedia (click and weep), let them enjoy and contribute to it!

      Decided to try one of the less political articles to see what it’d look like.

      One expert observes that “every school shooter has been heavily immersed in violent first person shooter games.”[1] Many bright futures of young men are destroyed by video game habits, and video games even cause harmful increases in blood sugar in players.[2] Video games are addictive, train young mass murderers, and promote liberal talking points or ideas.

      That’s one of the first things it says. Then it goes on to talk about promoting homosexuality and some more bullshit. Good stuff…
