@Wikipedia In this case, a meme transcended into morality. The question of online representation became a question of justice. /2

@Wikipedia What it signals is that the an Internet majority decided the case on @Wikipedia. This is a major shift – as it's usually a tiny group of "Wiki nerds" who determine what counts as notable, and how an article is positioned and written. /3

@Wikipedia For 25 years, Wikipedia has lived on the myth that it's crowdsourced. In reality, about 1% of editors control most content on the site. That's not crowdsourcing. It is, however, capture. With the Irya Zarutska article, we saw a new kind of Internet-wide crowdsourcing. /4

@Wikipedia Essentially, the blood-brain barrier that usually keeps Wikipedia isolated from the rest of the Internet (or the other way round) was pierced. /5

@Wikipedia Wikipedia will fight back. Despite editors' ample willingness to name Kyle Rittenhouse when he was a suspect (and a minor), there is still no mention of the name of the suspect in Zarutska's murder. That's not likely to change. But for now, even briefly, there was shift. /6

@AshleyRindsberg @Wikipedia The most outraged reactions to this censorship I've seen are by black men... who are sick and tired of the aspersions against them that result from "tolerating" this kind of horrendous behavior.

@AshleyRindsberg @Wikipedia @wikipedia has been and always will be communist trash. “How about a donation?”, they ask. Not in your dreams.
