Then make #Wikipedia more open and welcoming to new editors because as it stands now most new editors are castigated, cajoled, lambasted, and ridiculed for trying to contribute.
Wikipedia is a #serfdom full of #cliques and if you're not a member of a #clique then good luck trying to #contribute jack shit.

On some very serious level, it’s just not solarpunk if it’s not about a community taking action to make the world a better place. Individualism: it’s just so wrong. It’s fair to say that, not just in solarpunk, but in our cultures, “community” is right up there with “children” as an idea of something inherently good, moral, and wonderful. Community is worshiped as an answer to our problems. But Christina gets a sinking feeling every time she reads a solarpunk story that idolizes community.
In this episode, Christina tries to figure out why she’s so suspicious of community and so afraid of being suffocated by the rules, regulations, and norms of community. Join us for our Season 5 closer in which she and Ariel peek at community’s darker sides, like infighting, conformity, the potential for ostracizing people who don’t conform, and the fact that the existence of a community automatically creates a them.

Important announcement: We will be going on a short break for August, but stay tuned for season six in September!

From a conversation with a friend on a recent Facebook post. A memory of a memory, #academic ghosts haunting the dusty rooms of my brain.
I once spent a very enjoyable afternoon in the #University of #Minnesota #Biostatistics department library reading through century-old bound volumes of #Biometrika, which is now a somewhat obscure #journal, but was in its day instrumental to the development of #statistics. All the great names were there—#Yule, #Pearson, #Fisher, et al.—and it was a clubby little world back then. Everybody who was anybody in statistics knew everybody else.
Just like today, they used a lot of space in their papers refuting each other’s papers. But the writing style was completely different, much more personal: many of the papers read more like conversations than the structured, pedantic language of modern journal articles in practically every field. “First I tried this, but it didn’t work, so next I …” “Like I said to so-and-so in a recent letter …” “According to whosit, such-and-such is true, but frankly, whosit is an idiot.”
Well, I recognized what they were doing: forming #cliques and having slow-motion #flamewars. Everything old is new again. Sometimes I wonder if we wouldn’t be better off stripping out the modern pretense of detachment.

I do hope that all the regular #Mastodon users aren't overwhelmed by essentially the biggest #BoardInvasion I think I can ever remember happening.
There's nothing worse than another site going down and then everyone #invading your happy space, #misbehaving, chatting among their own #cliques and not engaging nicely with the locals.
