Trying to pass this clone off as an “update” to actual Wikipedia lol
So Putin’s regime embraced, extended and extinguished it? How ironic…
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
Tbh I’m most surprised by OP’s surprise. Russia doing weird, censorious shit like this is just another Tuesday.
Is it actually banned now? Seriously? I’m not surprised, I wish those terrorists can only access their own, isolated internet
lmao what a fucker
Humans are stupid. We should just start over.
I wonder if you’re capable of experiencing the irony of writing that, or are just as stupid as you claim all humans to be. Are you stupid? Do you trust yourself to write things that make sense? Just asking based on your own generalized claim. Unless of course you are a bot, then this comment is a waste of time.
Humans are selfish by definition (genes). It would be like rewinding a film and starting over.
The main problem lies within humans’ tendency to put themselves (their family/tribe/culture/etc.) before others’. I know there are fantastic people who don’t, but in the grand scheme of things, humanity will always be too selfish in general. I’d bet that will be our bane (we’re kind of slowly killing ourselves with it already).
I’d argue for not starting over.
Not like the original one is unbiased anyway.
I wonder, what are some examples?

(This is for the English version. Other language Wikipedias will have their own issues.)
At least they acknowledge the problem.
Better than a lot of governments at the moment
Yes, and they’ve tried to fix some of the issues. But at this point there’s a huge ‘establishment’ within the community that is resistant to any change.
The Ruzzian Federation is lies all the way down.
Graphic designer Constantine Konovalov calculated the number of characters changed between Wikipedia RU and Ruviki articles on the same topics, and found that there were 205,000 changes in articles about freedom of speech; 158,000 changes in articles about human rights; 96,000 changes in articles about political prisoners; and 71,000 changes in articles about censorship in Russia. He wrote in a post on X that the censorship was “straight out of a 1984 novel.”
Interestingly, the Ruviki article about George Orwell’s 1984 entirely omits the Ministry of Truth, which is the novel’s main propaganda outlet concerned with governing “truth” in the country.
That last detail…wow. They really don’t want to leave any doubt about what they’re doing, do they?
That book was a

What the hell?
The only surprise in this news is that the “more like this” sidebar is filled with porn for some reason.

The gaslighting is crazy
Give it 5 years and I bet Florida does the same.
There’s already Conservapedia.
I think that’s satire? I’m not sure, but it feels like satire.
I hate this timeline 😅
Back in my day it was just boob edits.
Cool, so less Wikipedia vandalism for the rest of us!
Nope. The vandalism is by the troll farms and a weapon of the quiet information war waging against reality.
Headline is just a lie, its not banned
