What the hell?

lmao the encyclongs raiding the villages again. genius. never heard of that before either. 🤣
Huh? Wikipedia isn’t banned in Russia yet. Though I do expect them to take steps towards it.
Cool, so less Wikipedia vandalism for the rest of us!
Nope. The vandalism is by the troll farms and a weapon of the quiet information war waging against reality.
Headline is just a lie, its not banned
Give it 5 years and I bet Florida does the same.
There’s already Conservapedia.
Filled with “alternative facts”?
The 2021 Capitol protests also known as the J6 FBI false flag attack on the U.S. Capitol or Fedsurrection consisted of a diverse group of American patriots of different races, backgrounds, and cultures protesting the electoral college certification of the fraudulent 2020 presidential election who were entrapped by the FBI on January 6, 2021.
I just threw up a little just visiting for 5 seconds.
Just a little?
Very much so. Last I heard the userbase was composed of roughly half truly sincere ultra-conservative nut and half parody accounts attempting to portray ultra-conservative views too extreme and nutty for the sincere ultra-conservatives, and nobody could tell who was what.
Poe’s Law in action.
Last I knew they called the Russia-Ukraine war the “NATO War in Ukraine” and claimed Russia killed over 10,000 “NATO mercenaries” mostly from Germany.
I think that’s satire? I’m not sure, but it feels like satire.
I hate this timeline 😅
Well, at least we all have some miniscule power to make it better I guess
Let’s clone Russia, censor it and ban original
You mean uncensor it?
Let’s just clone vlad and everyone gets one as a personal punching bag.
we begin bombing in five minutes
Kinda reminds me of the American Conservative vanity project
https://www.conservapedia.com/Main_Page
by the failson of the notorious 1970s political harpy Phyllis Schlafly.
This is all anyone needs to read from that site:
However, now that Trump was elected president, the establishment is trying to publicly align itself with Trump while marginalizing those who truly support Trump’s agenda. One can see this in the fact that President Trump appointed many liberals and globalists – such as Gary Cohn, H.R. McMaster, and Jared Kushner
That’s right, Trump’s own son in law is not MAGA enough.
President Trump appointed many liberals and globalists – such as . . . Jared Kushner
That’s right, Trump’s own son in law is not MAGA enough.
It’s not that he’s not MAGA enough, it’s the “Kushner” part. You have to remember, “globalist” is just the word they use for “Jew” to seem marginally more appealing to the average fuckwit.
An absolute buffet of word salad.
And reads like AI as 90% of every paragraph begins the same way.
[CITATION FUCKING NEEDED]
“Globalists” Conservatives are so creative in their racism.
It’s just straight up Russian propaganda now.
Its extremely American propaganda.
My favorite part is the article on, well, conservatives, in which they don’t actually define anything until the second section and just open the article with:
“A conservative promotes moral and economic values beneficial to all”
https://www.conservapedia.com/Marijuana
The entry on Marijuana is absolutely wild.
This is something that some people read and genuinely believe whole. This is 10,000% propaganda. Just unbelievable.

Of course, all you need to do is run a differential between Wikipedia and this thing to find exactly what the government is trying to censor. Idiots.
That would be a cool project. You’d basically see everything the Russian regime doesn’t want you to see, i.e. all the interesting bits.

disable the edit button. easy.
Russian Wikipedians will be quick to demand reliable sources for any text copied over. And they’ll probably have bots to check if anything is copied over without attribution. In the end it’ll probably be a trickle of usable information, like all the other wikis.
The new site just won’t keep up and degrade quickly, even by their own standards.
Why do you think that Russia would care to include the edits from the original Wikipedia ?
Wikipedia is not currently banned in Russia.
But the Russian branch of Wikimedia as an organization is.
Also, pretty much nobody in Russia uses Ruwiki, everyone keeps using Wikipedia.
That’s all not to say it isn’t a troubling development, though. But Russians are more likely to access Wikipedia through VPN than to rely on Ruwiki. The game’s not lost.
Edit: Thank you OP for striving for the best accuracy!
Tbh I’m most surprised by OP’s surprise. Russia doing weird, censorious shit like this is just another Tuesday.
So Putin’s regime embraced, extended and extinguished it? How ironic…

I guess they did it only locally. Though it doesn’t exactly fit the definition even that way. And why would it be ironic?
'Cos that tactic is Microsoft™.
Then again the Russian Federation is a fascist state run by oligarchs, so not that much different from the fascist state run by billionaire CEOs that the US is…
Seriously? Ehh…
Of course Russia is facist though, what else would it be? Maybe you got it wrong with a historic non existing failed country created by absolute psychopaths?
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

Trying to pass this clone off as an “update” to actual Wikipedia lol
Must be nice, in China we only have the poorly formatted, lack-of-citation garbage that is Baidu Baike https://baike.baidu.com/ .
The “sorting algorithm” article: https://baike.baidu.com/item/排序算法/5399605 only have 3 citations: none of which are the original papers and none of which have any links. I tried searching these “citations” and found absolutely nothing…
Similarly, the article for “Amsterdam” contains almost no citation beyond the first paragraph https://baike.baidu.com/item/阿姆斯特丹/814
Just imagine how bad it would be for more obscure concepts.
The Ruzzian Federation is lies all the way down.
lmao what a fucker
