Great post!

Okay, this is great! A complete fork of MTG wiki that’s not on Fandom.

(The not so great part is that they use Cloudflare.)

How is this different from a normal webpage?

Local users can edit locally, and they can link to remote pages, and they can copy remote texts and turn them into local pages.

Interesting! Might be something I’d wanna migrate parts of Idiomdrottning.org over to. Down the line. Need to prioritize spoons.

@alex@social.alexschroeder.ch has a post about why blogging.

One speaks to an imagined audience.

There is some merit to concerns about the culture on Stack Exchange. Just like on Wikipedia, you can run into some rando småpåve who thinks they’re the king of the world and tries to put you in your place while they’re the one who’s being all wrong about something.

It sucks when that happens, but overall I think Wikipedia and especially Stack Exchange have been successes, especially in the context of the ephemerality of Usenet and IRC.

I mean I don’t just make internal links. I link to other people and to Wikipedia. Ideally the entire web is one big web. “Wiki” was invented by Ward to make web quickly. Wiki means fast or quick.
