If i found a genie, one of my 3 wishes would be that reddit was viewed like Wikipedia. It should be a non-profit. I'd gladly donate to keep the servers up. I do that for Lemmy now.
If I want to know something, I'm either looking at Wikipedia for general information, or reddit for specific. The odds that someone else has asked the same question on reddit it weirdly high. Even Google acknowledged that there search results went to shit because of the blackouts. How did we let such a wealth of knowledge get caught up in profits.
I love Wikipedia. Even if it has flaws, it's by far one of the best things we've created a humanity.
I would like to see Jimmy Wales run Twitter and Reddit clones. If there is anyone that you can trust to not turn a website into a commercial entity, it's the guy running one of the world's most visited site with no advertising.
Maybe Wikimedia can host Mastodon and Lemmy server.
Either him or the guy who runs Craigslist, with no obvious intentions of trying to wring money out his site
Isn't the wiki media foundation planning a reddit like site?
