Shower Thoughts

Has anyone in crypto world attempted to make a (better) alternative to Wikipedia? Given the editorial tilt of Wikipedia, this seems like such a big, meaningful project to take on. It's one that's also super difficult. Would require $ and a better plan on how to organize and sustain the editorial.

what's the biggest issue with wikipedia?

i presume it could be forked and re-edited but how would that make it better?

there's an ipfs mirror, but I doubt it's current (nor are the censored parts fixed).

A community notes built-in powered by token incentives to contribute, fact-check - correct.

Could be really good. I hope someone starts a meaningful narrative in this direction.

hard to balance incentives, where most wikipedia editors are just passionate about the work vs. financial compensation

I think we might have a better, decentralized version but I don’t see how. Token incentives for contributiona sounds like low effort spam
