Time to take a step way the fuck back and try to really understand why and how Wikipedia (& spinoffs like lolRationalWiki) has failed.
@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.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@St_Rev With the premise of allowing anyone to edit, is what you call the failure a bug or a feature? Or is your beef that there isn't... -
@Melhyphen 'Anyone can edit' is less and less true. Culture has developed and nurtured a class of obsessive rule-lawyers. -
@Melhyphen a) small cabals lock down ideologically charged articles. gamergate is a good example. -
@Melhyphen b) neutral articles get mangled by aspie obsessive types who are just editing for the sake of editing. -
@Melhyphen LOTS of math articles are just garbage these days. Word salad. -
@Melhyphen I opened this thread with an example. Text arguing with itself in broken prose. -
@Melhyphen guess it's not directly linked in this chain. here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intuitionistic_type_theory#Extensional_versus_intensional … -
@St_Rev that's incoherent as fuck. They have found the most verbose way to express every concept. Word salad indeed.
