What is going on with Wikipedia and now a bunch of people seem to hate it? What did they do to piss people off? Did they change something? (lemmy.world)

I am a self proclaimed wiki-phile, I always donated when I could. It was kind of like going to the library without the fresh book smell.

Elon Musk and his cult followers are getting pissy with and declaring war on Wikipedia because they think it's biased against them. So basically, Wikipedia is being dragged into this right wing culture war.

It's not really a right wing culture war at this point, they're trying to destroy any source of information not controlled by the rich fascists who've seized control of the state.

CIA has their own wikipedia editors. As do most large companies & rich people. Wikipedia is not exactly neutral, but for melon it’s not biased enough.
