 Wikipedia is now on Mastodon, at @wikipedia! They've taken an interesting approach here, as it is an account run by the community, where everyone can contribute (explanation here: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/@Wikipedia). At the same time, it is verified on the official homepage of wikipedia.org, as you can see in the screenshot. Personally, I think this suits the spirit of the fediverse that the Wikipedia account is not a PR department, but community members building something together! 18 comments

Fortunately corporations are working tirelessly to correct errors on their Wikipedia pages but this is only a drop in the bucket against the corruption at Wikipedia. @fediversereport @wikipedia welcome and ello.... enjoy the spreading of info and encyclopedic information sharing   @fediversereport @wikipedia @mastodonmigration thanks to @legoktm and the rest of the wikis.world team for running the instance! @fediversereport @wikipedia The growth of #Mastodon is still shooting up after the head musky twit #ElonMusk decided to destroy #Twitter . @fediversereport @wikipedia it's recursion calamari. The imagination is the engineering constraint and the medium is biomechanical pluripotent new age sci fi greY goo rolled up into a being of light that is caught in a Douglass hofsteadarian trophic cascade of epistemological violence and poetic terrorism. Revised and updated.  @fediversereport just wait till we start getting notability flame wars over image descriptions  |
