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.

Wikidata is a free and open knowledge base that can be read and edited by humans and machines. Wikidata acts as central storage for the structured data of its Wikimedia sister projects including Wikipedia, Wikivoyage, Wiktionary, Wikisource, and others.

Short version:

Tools for thought promise to let you centralize and hyperlink all your data. In practice 95% of the use cases can be naturally unbundled into disjoint apps, and the lack of centralization and cross-app hyperlinking has no real negative effects.
