That structure is extremely corrupted though. And Lemmy shows that volunteers can handle this kind of stuff. Though Ibis will definitely need a lot of mod tools.
That page starts by complaining that alternative medicine is represented negatively. Going to skip the rest of the blog lol
How could the bias be so widespread they wonder!
Of course no single site is perfect. Editors may always have ulterior motives. That is what the editing history is for. But with a federated wiki, the only thing you'll get is multiple different versions that all present their oen little "truths" and at that point you can just go back and search the entire internet for blogs, just like the website you sent me is a blog.
I think thats better than having our single "truth" controlled by a corrupt organization from a different country, different language and different culture. With federation there can be independent wikis for my local country or city.
You can already do that. How does federation help?
By allowing users to interact between different wiki instances. Just like you can interact with Lemmy instances from KBin.
