Announcing Ibis, the federated Wikipedia Alternative
You're viewing a single thread.
Looks like a federated wiki, which is great. And not a Wikipedia alternative. What makes wikipedia wikipedia is not the tech. Social and knowledge problems can't be solved with tech ;)
As much as Wikipedia has issues, as the ibis announcement states, it also works in many places. And federating it won't help with the issues of bad moderation, quite the contrary. And as much as I like nutomic (thanks for syncthing-android ;) ), I don't hear many good things about the lemmy moderation story. So I have my doubts. Lets hope I am wrong. Plus anyway, federated wikis is a great thing to have, ignoring the whole Wikipedia aspect.I would be willing to change the title, maybe "Announcing Ibis, the federated Wiki" ?
That would work much, much better I think.
Actually its too complicated to change the title in Ibis due to federation. Plus I would have to rewrite the whole intro. But I will keep it in mind for the future.
What's wrong with lemmy moderation? I haven't had issues.
Honest question out of interest: Are you doing moderation on lemmy? I just remember reading about admins/mods complaining about the lack of tooling, sometimes plain functionality (removal of certain things) for effective moderation. I am not doing any myself so that's very 3rd-party-ish knowledge (if you even want to call it that).
Ahh sorry I misunderstood. I thought you meant moderation is bad from the user's perspective, not from the mod's perspective.
