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. For example geology.wiki/article/Mountain may be completely different different from poetry.wiki/article/Mountain. There can be Ibis instances strictly focused on a particular topic with a high quality standard, and others covering many areas in layman’s terms.

I don't think something like this exists yet(?), so it'll be cool to see how this will be like.

So like Fandom without the ads or miraheze, but fediverse-adapted

Promising...

That's exactly what i was thinking. It replace fandom.
