I thought about a federated wikipedia software. I know everybody can make their own wiki these days, but i thought about a platform where different instances are easily accesible through a common set of article names. For example, i want to visit an article about the “history of ireland”, but if i access this through an irish instance i imagine the contents are going to pretty different from a british instance, with even different sources being used, a whole different editor team and so on. I think this would be great in the world we live in currently where it gets more and more important to consider every perspective available, comparing and acknowleding the existing biases. But i don’t know if this type of software already exists. If it does, let me know about it.
I like that idea. I previously had a fedi discussion and wrote about Semmy: Social Knowledge Fabrics which combines the best of wiki’s and social networking.
