If you're avoiding Reddit now, I'm currently building a community-led and funded project. It's not done by any means, but I think you would enjoy it. We even have a draft API!Test : https://wts2.wt.socialAPI docs: https://trustcafe.readme.io/reference/introductionDonate: https://contribute.wt.social/en-
I checked it out and it doesn’t have a lot going on yet, but is an interesting development
Yeah, WikiTribune was originally a for-profit project unrelated to Wikipedia from a few years back. IIRC the idea was basically to avoid the issues with fake news by having users hire journalists directly… through the medium of the WikiTribune leadership… which is basically what Newspapers were. Not a bad idea I suppose, but it definitely flopped. Now I guess they’re reusing the name for a seemingly unrelated microblogging service. Weird.
Funny, the Wikipedia article for WikiTribune implies that it’s defunct.
Maybe the wikipedia devs are mad Jimmy isn’t shilling for more donations with all his time. lol
Here’s the ‘WT Social’ Article looks like they reused the name.
