Oh come on, I am capable of way more than just being a marketing genius on Lemmy, and running one dumb repetitive joke into the ground like a shitty reddit novelty account isn’t very funny, unlike my new movie, “Barbie”, only in theaters July 21st.
(But seriously though, comedy is about timing more than anything else.)
Federated wiki does not sound like a good idea, as in, all articles coming from different servers. But we don’t have to go that far; hosting a wiki is quite straightforward.
If you’re already paying for hosting, you might as well just use the tools readily available. But for “fan” wiki, you’d require a strong enough core to handle that part while other contributes.
I think it would work like how it does here, where you can access/edit all the pages on independent wikis hosted on different servers with one account identity. Federation is about getting both the advantages of centralized services and independent operations (sometimes disadvantages too), and I think outside of forums, fan wikis are probably the best sites for a federation structure. After all, wikia/fandom already kinda operates like this.
I would love to see a federated wiki platform form somehow, as centralization has honestly been pretty terrible for both wikipedia and wikia/fandom.
I thought all your comments were related to the Barbie movie
