Today’s social media transform us into merely numbers.
No problem for me.

  • Wikipedia is not a Big Tech nor a commercial enterprise prone to enshittification nor it profits from surveillance capitalism. We don’t need another, competing, universal source of enclopedical information. Wikipedia, on contrary to X, Reddit, Facebook, etc. is not going anywhere. Any self-styled Wikipedia alternative ended up dead, thematic, or biased by design.

    However there are many thematical and fan wikis hosted on Fandom, which itself is a commercial company and there were already some contoversies concerning it. Wikis on Fandom are very resource-intensive compared to Wikipedia or independent thematical wikis.

    Ability to edit at several wikis from the same account without being tied to Fandom could be one of things that Ibis offers and could benefit independent wiki sites.

    And of course, MediaWiki is free software and federation could be added as a functionality.




  • You probably want to use a regional instance to have more relevant users, groups and events, but there is a global search engine for Mobilizon

    For example, I am using a Polish instance, with an unsuprising domain https://mobilizon.pl

    With an account, you are able to publish events, with header image, title, category, tags, date, place, description (with formatting available), and metadata. The event can be accesible publicly, or only via link.
    The event (if public) can federate (and be boosted to e.g. Mastodon) and be commented, but you are able to turn off the comments.

    Individual account can only be followed from Friendica, but not from Mastodon.

    For more features you want to create a group. A group can be followed from Friendica and Mastodon, but only Mobilizon accounts can become its members. Group members are able to participate in discussions (not visible from outside), manage a “common resource folder” - links, make group events and group announcements

    You can experiment with Mobilizon features with a demo instance
