  1. @ouij I cringe when I hear the word #obedience, but I get what you are trying to say and agree with the sentiment. I would rephrase it, though. We need to be #civil and follow #rules and #laws that are just. We can't have a #society without. But #lawandorder has been twisted into a #politicalweapon, a #fightingword lacking all #honesty. The political factions using that phrase are the same that support folks claiming there is no such thing as a society. #Conservatism is #nihalism

    Our experience is that #wikipedia is an indictment on the #legacyInternet. It permits abuse, with omission and lies (re #Australian politics).

    We see Wikipedia (incl. #WikiMedia) as a #politicalWeapon, also by how they shifted goalposts to prevent a more socially acceptable FediverseIcon being made available (2021-present).

    Wikipedia can be 'fun' as you express, but it ought never be used for anything but scant curiosity. It's ultimately a dangerously #authoritarian construct.
