I always have dreamed of a world in which the global Facebook that won was more like Wikipedia.
I bet if we didn’t have Wikipedia, people would say such a project would never work. Fortunately we do.
Now, imagine a basic, open “friend book” with barebones Wikipedia-esque design for the purpose of maintaining social connections. Wouldn’t that be grand?

- sebmellen 5y agoBah, Larry Sanger tried to shill me Everipedia at a crypto conference a few years ago. Maybe he is worth listening to on this topic but Everipedia is a complete joke. All platforms have problems. I don’t like a lot of Wikipedia’s policies. But I’d for damn sure choose a Wikipedia run “Face Book” over Facebook, Inc.

- zestyping 5y agoI never believed that Wikipedia could work, until it did. It still flabbergasts me.
