With biased by design I have meant something like Conservapedia, RationalWiki, etc… They do not try to make neutral point of view, as is (or at least should be) applied on Wikipedia.
Today’s social media transform us into merely numbers.
No problem for me.

You could peek at two opposing views on the same article, for example.
Post-truth as a service.
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.
They block.
This is not an exhaustive list. For example, Instagram Threads profiles are available from kbin.social, which is not listed here, though.
You’re (@kingaloo and @MelodiousFunk) probably mocking all the FireFish variations, but IceShrimp as another Misskey fork already exists. :)
(And so will be EarthCrab and AirBirb /s)
For China:
Not actually the region you asked about, but wykop.pl is actually larger in Poland, than Reddit.
It should be at https://thebad.space, but the site is DDoSed right now.
Many Linux distributions include Firefox as a default browser, but GNU/Linux is not very popular on desktop either…
I do not see any killer feature of Firefox right now. Even the Mozilla’s official browser comparison site indicates Microsoft Edge being on par with Firefox, based on Mozilla’s own criteria!
This will change in the future. Firefox will be the only major web browser on Android with full-fledged addon support.
I am already using some extensions on Vivaldi (like Consent-o-Matic, some transliteration addons), but this could make me switch to Firefox.
All Lemmy threads, combined with toots from Mastodon. And more to come.
Wikis serve mainly lurkers, and federation of these sites does not matter much for them. The main advantage of wiki federation would be ability to edit several wikis under the same account. However, you can achieve the same effect with OAuth (that is, logging to many sites with the same account on another one).
kbin.social federates with Threads
