Would have preferred a federated wiki in Lemmy, but still cool.

One of the main devs of Lemmy (@nutomic) just announced a federated wiki project called Ibis
"Instead of individual, centralized websites there will be an interconnected network of encyclopedias. This means the same topic can be treated in completely different ways."
Yay, now we'll have a new wikipedia which will also present russian take on Ukraine invasion, Chinese take on Tianmen massacre and a flat-earthers corner for their "truth". I think internet already covers that..

Why not just build a wikipedia mirror?
All the data is available for free via download, torrent, etc.
Idk I have no complaints about wikipedia to lead me to look for a federated alternative.
That looks like big news. Exciting! 🎉
The majestic bin chicken reaching new heights.
All the best with the project!
