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.

Here you go:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conservapedia

This has been escalating for like two decades.

Few article I saw, all are very basic and low quality. How's that 'escalating'?

The point is that many conservatives have hated Wikipedia for a long time, and Conservapedia is a microcosm of why, not that the alternatives are necessarily good.
