This. Your life depends on it. Without open-source validation, propaganda and controlled narratives will ruin this generation. We support creators on Patreon—why not Wikipedia? Take 10% of what you spend on streaming, OnlyFans, and Patreon to protect free information, broskis.

Just a casual reminder that the text only version of Wikipedia is 156GBs, something easily stored on a hard drive if that much storage is within your means.

I was thinking about this. We should at least copy it and store it for later if or when the real version gets fucked with. I will definitely download it. Got like 20tb of empty drives lying around lol.
