In Soviet Russia, Wikipedia searches you!
Russian truthiness.
Not a big fan of carving up the internet like this.
Have you brought your concern up to the Russian government?
Why would they listen to me? Lol.
That’s my point.
The world needs to carve a Russian sized hole in the internet. it would be best for all of us.
No it wouldn’t.
This is my exact response every time someone suggests federating wikipedia. This is exactly what you will get.
Is Wikipedia but Russian! Is best Wikipedia!
Assuming it still allows community edits, some brave soul is probably going to go all
[
on it and probably end up in a gulag. ]
Suspect this might be clickbait, they didn’t ban the original wiki. I’ve asked a friend of mine from Russia to verify this and they were able to access the ‘old’ wiki, both English and Russian version just fine.
as long as they don’t block ru.wikipedia.org, i don’t see it getting too much traction.
Article says they ban the original.
They seem to have banned it
But Putin’s stooges already did this. Apparently one dictator-oriented misinformation spewing Conservapedia wasn’t enough. Gotta have two, I guess.
As awful as state controlled media is I look forward to reading the absurdities. The absolute distain communists have for jeans is absolutely hilarious, durable clothing made for sailors and miners is a sign of western opulence.
Why wait? You can go read conservapedia right now. Just as absurd, but possibly less Russian.
Not by a lot, I reckon
What does communism have to do with the Russian government? Russia abandoned communism 34 years ago.
The communists used state controlled media… Just like the Russians. Governments can only get away with saying crazy shit, like blue jeans are the devil, when there is no one to keep them in check.
If you make an edit —-> GULAG
If you don’t make an edit, gulag
We have best wiki in the world, because of gulag.
Make edit, but make typo: shit that cancels out but still gulag for finding loophole in system. The system is flawless it’s you who is wrong. Oh yea did I mention gulag
Should have forked Conservepedia - it’s already fucking stupid to start with.
You don’t fork what’s yours to start with.
My peas beg to differ.
Why didn’t they just start with Metapedia? It would have been a shorter walk.
Wankerpedia
