Via #TheGuardian @ 8:15am ET on Aug 11, 2025

The operator of #Wikipedia has been given permission by a high court judge to challenge the #OnlineSafetyAct if it is categorised as a high-risk platform, which would impose the most stringent duties.

The #WikimediaFoundation has said it might be forced to reduce how many people can access the site in order to comply with the regulations if it is classified as a category 1 provider by #Ofcom later this summer.

#SpaceKaren is attacking #Wikipedia!

@KronoMoon is unaffiliated, but we quote from & link to #Wikipedia pages on most days. Please consider an extra #Christmas or end-of-year donation to the #Wikimedia Foundation this year & show them that #Mastodon supports #Wokepedia (and not X)!

What I wish from the FLOSS community:

1. A Mastodon fork that does nothing but add support for plugins, while providing timely updates for every Mastodon update.

2. A whole lot of plugins for that Mastodon fork, especially ones that enhance moderation and collaboration between instance moderation teams.

3. An F-Droid fork that does nothing except exchange the default repo with a repo that excludes toxic, bigoted, problematic apps (including AI and crypto shit) and adds the ability for users to hide apps, while providing timely updates for every F-Droid update.

4. A browser that truely respects human rights.

5. A search engine that truely respects human rights.

What I wish from the internet community:

1. A bigotry-free, non-toxic Wikipedia.

How I think that could all happen: Communities without toxic techbros take over Mastodon, F-Droid, Mozilla, DuckDuckGo and the Wikimedia foundation.
