Is it really a replacement if it's private and stuck in some walled garden? I don't care about the platform used, I care about the surfacing and availability of non-commercial content.
- DaiPlusPlus 10y agoWhy do you consider Wikipedia a private walled garden? Arguably it's freer and less commercial than older personal home pages because of the mandatory copyleft license.
- ori_b 10y agoWikipedia has heavily curated content that must be presented in a certain way, protected from editing by trolls, and is reverted regularly. Try making a significant change or writing a new article without being mired in beaurocracy. It's not an example of diverse user-generated content any more. For good reason -- it can't be, if it wants to be considered a useful source on anything.
