    This is a very citical moment for the #Wikimedia Foundation and #Wikipedia as a whole for many reasons. They must get their next CEO choice right.

    The US government is officially trying to kill #Wikipedia and the #Wikimedia Foundation.

    The @wikimediafoundation will switch traffic between its data centers today (19 March) at around 14:00 UTC.
    This is done twice a year to make sure that #Wikipedia and the other #Wikimedia wikis can stay online even after a disaster.

    You will be able to read, but not edit, all wikis for a short period of time.

    @_elena @nclm Glad to see @nclm beat me to it! 😆 I just added a caption translation and extra info to the "Structured data" tab of the #Wikimedia photo so it can be (hopefully) more discoverable:
    https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Fediverse_smartphone_apps_(photo_by_Elena_Rossini).jpg

    BTW @_elena if you want, you could include links to your Fediverse profiles, website, etc. to your Wikimedia account page!

    Really happy to see the #Fediverse and Wikimedia-verse #multiverse coming together. 😅

    @_elena Thanks! Oh and speaking of #Wikipedia, a possible example of what you could do is to edit the Wikipedia article about the Fediverse:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fediverse

    By inserting your stock photo from #Wikimedia Commons! One place for it could be under the "Software" sub-heading of that article:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fediverse#Software

    I like how different parts of the Wikimedia-verse ties together like the different platforms/apps of the #Fediverse. 😁

      Fediverse
      The Fediverse (commonly shortened to Fedi) is a collection of social networking services that can communicate with each other (formally known as federation) using a common protocol. Users of different websites can send and receive status updates, multimedia files and other data across the network. The term Fediverse is a portmanteau of "federation" and "universe". The majority of Fediverse platforms are free and open-source software, and create connections between servers using the ActivityPub protocol. Some software still supports older federation protocols as well, such as OStatus, the Diaspora protocol and Zot. Diaspora* is the only actively developed software project classified under the original definition of Fediverse that does not support ActivityPub. Design While a traditional social networking service will host all its content on servers managed by the owner of the website, the decentralized servers that make up the Fediverse allow any individual or organization to host their own servers (referred to as an "instance"). Every instance is independent, and can...

    @_elena Excited to see this "stock" photo published, thank you for all that you have done (and are doing)! ❤️ 🙏

    May I strongly suggest also publishing your images and (upcoming) videos to #Wikimedia Commons?

    https://commons.wikimedia.org/

    Unsplash may help with exposure, but the Wikimedia Commons is much more in line with the spirit of the #Fediverse and #opensource tech!

    P.S. This is not the same as #Wikipedia, though you may want to post something there, too!

    @wikimediafoundation I and many others would be interested to know what is being done for data security under the new regime, as the Foundation is based in the USA. Will Wikipedia be save?

    Looks like @wikimediafoundation is at least pausing its use of X "for now".

    https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Social_media&diff=prev&oldid=28106844

    Now would be a good time for additional #Wikimedia chapters to explicitly exit X (and why not Meta, while you're at it :-) to keep the momentum going.

    Over on X I was trying out their #AI called Grok, and asked it a factual question. It returned a text it wrote while aggregating various sources, e.g., #Wikipedia. years ago I had conversations with people from #Wikimedia that due to machine learning, AI, and automated text-generation, Wikipedia's concept of articles consisting of lemma and corpus, is an outdated form of organizing "knowledge". In the future, I mused, people will ask a question and corresponding (!) to the level of differentiation, machines will provide a written text as answer, based on crawling the net for information. "Knowledge" will thus not be structured as lemma plus corpus but as transitory, individualized question plus answer. I suggested to those Wikimedians that they need to hurry to come up with a proper technical form for such "new" #lexicography, because right now -- that is: back then -- Wikipedia, by mimicking knowledge-presentation of material books and paper-based compendiums, is the last of its kind. As far as I know, Wikimedia never took up on this change, and now the Musks, Zuckerbergs, Gates, the surveillance capitalists have taken over not with a service but a new way of lexicography that Wikimedia and the various Wikipedia editons have missed out on. It will be interesting to see whether and how Wikimedia and Wikipedia can catch up.

    Just finalized my annual donation to #Wikipedia and the #Wikimedia Foundation as they're now under major attack from the world's richest person and likely first trillionaire in history.

    Whatever you think of them as a organization, it's still a major #publicservice and we need more of that than ever before.
