What the hell?
Edit - Quoting @Allero@lemmy.today
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.
Americans spend most of their high school social studies, econ, and english lit classes being gaslit into believing there’s no difference.
The joke of the modern century is that we took a bunch of the fascist tendencies of the prior century and privatized them.
