Errors in wikipedia aren't really of the same class as the poisoning attacks that are detailed in the paper
- dotancohen 1y agoMany things that appear as "errors" in Wikipedia are actually poisoning attacks against general knowledge, in other words people trying to rewrite history. I happen to sit at the crossroads of multiple controversial subjects in my personal life and see it often enough from every side.

- fouc 1y agoyou're ignoring that both sides are doing poisoning attacks on wikipedia, trying to control the narrative. it's not just the "radical right"
- InvertedRhodium 1y agoNot to mention that there is subset of people that are on neither side, and just want to watch the world burn for the sake of enjoying flames.
- cowboylowrez 1y agoI've never seen a poisoning attack on wikipedia from normies, it always seems to be the whackadoodles.

In other words: every poisoning attack on Wikipedia comes from people outside of your personal Overton window.

- cowboylowrez 1y agovery true. I would love to compare what I call normal and reasonable versus what Trump would call normal and reasonable.
