It was a good first attempt but it's just a ball of cancer now.

I think really important lessons are buried in there for anarchists & libertarians: how people insist on reinventing their own oppressions.

@St_Rev We have more people with intimate knowledge of Pop Culture (with primary sources!) than we do of historical events or policies. -
@OG_Jaybird That would explain weird emphases but not the axe-grinding and degeneration of technical articles. -
@OG_Jaybird Articles that *used* to be good are word salad now. -
@St_Rev A higher class of entitled ignorance, maybe? "I don't understand this but what I do understand offends, so edit edit edit... there" -
@OG_Jaybird Not "offends" but...when reward and status accrue for just making changes, idiots will 'improve' stuff to death. -
@OG_Jaybird I've seen good technical explanations deleted, and their contributors driven off, under insane claims of 'no original research'.

@St_Rev It's actually kinda interesting if you model it as value drift, though probably just simple poor optimization processes. -
@St_Rev When whoever talks last 'wins', it's not too surprising that hyperfocus, controversy, and control-of-other-speakers rule the roost. -
@gattsuru Yeah, and WP is mature enough to have accumulated a world-class set of them. And that pushes out out more moderate voices. -
@gattsuru People like Mark Bernstein--unhinged bully, actively despises WP, yet exerts an outsize influence directly & via proxies. -
@gattsuru Dude's response to being disciplined for edit-warring and abusive was to blog a bunch of lies, then get them into the Guardian.

@St_Rev how is Wikipedia a failure? -
@Melhyphen a) toxic culture supporting b) obsessive axe-grinding on ideologically-charged subjects and c) decay of neutral articles -
@Melhyphen Quality has been declining even on neutral stuff where it used to be quite good, bc (?) qualified editors are driven away.
