> "We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them." — Albert Einstein<p>The point is, he never said that. So how can you place a fake quote on your main page of this kind of project?
Wikipedia is a good source or at least points to good sources. The exception is political articles, which are often framed in a very one-sided way, especially if a topic has hit the news cycle. At least some articles are subjected to this, others might be fine.<p>I wish this platform luck. It will be hard and might take ages to take up speed and maybe it will fare better here.
ok, so they forked wikipedia with the intent to make the content more unbiased. well, that is good idea(even as to avoid monopolization of information) but i fail to see how they plan to achieve that. not only they have miniscule amount of editors compared to wikipedia by default, but they also show no plans for safeguards against the manipulation. i would say this looks like a waste of time and people behind it should rather invest time in "fixing" wikipedia articles and potentially work with wiki foundation on some rules and techniques to prevent manipulation rather than start their own project, which will ultimately fail because running wikipedia is not as simple as it might look like. let alone cheap.
Mods: please change the link to <a href="https://justapedia.org/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://justapedia.org/</a> to avoid certificate issue (ie. removing the "www" prefix).
It has a broken certificate for the www subdomain.<p>It's now 2023 and certificates are still a pain in the butt.<p>The web needs a better solution than Let's Encrypt.<p>We need a certificate authority to which you can prove control over a domain by putting a file in:<p>domain.com/.well-known/root_ownership<p>And get a wildcard cert this way.<p>Let's Encrypt's approach to require changing DNS entries for this is not the way to go.<p>Their argument seems to be that user generated content might end up in a file. And therefore file authentification is only good for individual hostnames. But which website let's you put user generated content into /.well-kown/ on the root domain?
In the feature showcase, Justapedia shows the article on fascism on both their site and Wikipedia. It reads<p>> From Justapedia<p>> Fascism /ˈfæʃɪzəm/ is a form of radical authoritarianism that first emerged in Italy under the leadership of Mussolini, who coined the term to describe his political movement in 1919 during World War I.<p>> (...)<p>> There have been attempts by media and some scholars to equate nationalism with fascism while discarding its Marxist "anti-capitalist economic, philosophical and political framework."[3] George Friedman opined that in 2016 a number of articles and statements asserted that "fascism is rising in Europe, and that Donald Trump is an American example of fascism." Friedman denounced such beliefs as "a misrepresentation of a very real phenomenon", and that the nation-state is once again becoming the most important part of politics. He went on to say that people simply don't consider multilateral trade treaties and international organizations like the European Union to be in the best interest of their respective countries, and that the idea that fascism is on the rise "derives from a profound misunderstanding of what fascism is." He views it as an attempt to "discredit the resurgence of nationalism and to defend the multinational systems that have dominated the West since World War II."[4]<p>-<p>> From Wikipedia<p>> Fascism is a far-right, authoritarian, ultranationalist political ideology and movement,[14][15][16] characterized by a dictatorial leader, centralized autocracy, militarism, forcible suppression of opposition, belief in a natural social hierarchy, subordination of individual interests for the perceived good of the nation and race, and strong regimentation of society and the economy.[15][16]<p>So, that's Justapedia main selling point? Removing the "far-right" label on the goddamn article on Fascism, and associating it with Marxism?
Their feature showcase with fascism makes their version seem more biased than the Wikipedia version. I recognise we can debate whether Stalin was a true communist and not just a fascist in disguise, but leading your article with that (by virtue of having his picture before Hitler's in reading direction) seems very subjective.
