what i would like to see in terms of ActivityPub-powered wikis is a beautiful federated network of very focused wikis. more of a fandom.org competitor than a wikipedia.org competitor, really − get the torchlight wiki and the asoiaf wiki and the grenoble wiki talking together, let us contribute to all with our personal accounts,
idk if it’s possible to beat wikipedia, but i don’t think it’s really valuable − wikipedia works because it has 20 years of building rules and a relatively homogeneous community, which has the good and the bad. i just think it’s more worthwhile to think about building an alternative for all the wikis that would actually benefit from this.
