Wikipedia is such a beauty and I'm so glad and grateful it exists. Surely it's not perfect, but it's so inspiring and hopeful to see a collective effort be so successful. I sometimes wonder, what new projects we've seen since that are equally inspiring. The Fediverse certainly is beautiful but it's also still a little bit fringe. I personally really like MusicBrainz, but that started 24 years ago What new collective projects has the internet brought us in recent years? And what collective projects could the future bring us?
my favorite thing about wikipedia is the information density, there are few things that match it, except for books, and those often cost money.
