Wikipedia and its contributors: Good.
Domain name owners and server hosters (Wikimedia Foundation): Bad.

And I might get some hate for this but I think of Reddit the same way. I hate the platform and its owners but what’s ON the platform was posted by the community, for the community.

I want Wikipedia to battle misinformation, they are theoretically equipped to do that. I want a last bastion of pre social media pre enshitification Internet, if possible.

Your wiki is cool and all but not making a dent at the moment.

But a lot of redditors and the bots are garbage too. That place eis full of so much transphobia and racism these days. Not to say lemmy is perfect but I've certainly seen less of it here.

I think that's just general society right now

Well, if in the foundation you include the moderators/admins or whatever they call them on wikipedia, then I agree. But just like on reddit, the mods of wikipedia are also part of the issue (not all but most).

Not really.

Yes, the people who actually own the website are trash.

OK I'll bite, what's wrong with the legion of volunteers who have spent decades giving free information to the world?
