I was all set to do a different sub this week, but I've has such tremendous feedback and overwhelming support to my Truther post, and even /u/useless_aether responded that they're waiting to be confirmed into the IG club. So I started a response to inform u_a about IG and I realized that I should just start a new InfoGalactic sub to more publicly discuss this free and uncensored resource (though with some legit concerns too). This was my response to u_a that I hijacked before sharing to relocate here...

Vox Day = alt-right

InfoGalactic was started by Vox Day, alt-right author of "SJWs Always Lie", which I always thought was a poor title, until I found out the full title that I wish they would always use, "SJWs Always Lie: Taking Down the Thought Police". It does make a difference.

Personally, as a anarcho-progressive atheist Truther but they let me do my things. Being left-leaning on an alt-right wiki I've had almost no conflicts. Some of the alt-right guys are religious and want to change all the BCE back into BC and all the CE into AD. Whatev.

Community <=>~ 0

It's almost identical to Wikipedia in most ways. However, compared to Wikipedia culture there are a few things you may wish to consider doing differently. I put all the stuff usually found on a WP draft or a WP talk page (ie. To Do lists, etc.) directly on the actual article, not to be missed, as no one uses the "discussion" pages, and so few people even visit IG anyway. Another good place you might want to discuss with the most potential eyes, is their variation on a "tea room" commons discussion, but as you can see the conversation has REALLY died down to being almost non-existent with me occasionally bleating something to no one. There is no social or community to speak of.

Activity <=>~ 0

You can really see how inactive it is by how little activity there is InfoGalactic:

https://infogalactic.com/info/Special:RecentChanges

Seems like if you set it to 500 changes in the last 90 days it still only gives you 5 days:

Upload images

In the left margin below the logo is the "Upload file" to add images. You don't need to fill out the copyright stuff but I recommend doing so if you can. Include your information if it's original content. At least include a link to where it came from. Their copyright tools are sorely lacking. Further still, WARNING: they transferred servers and somehow lost a bunch of images. I don't know why or how. So be aware you're images may be in peril at some point. I hope they've resolved it.

An example of an article I wrote about a Burning Man book/DVD project I worked on, and I have to re-upload my images: https://infogalactic.com/info/Drama_in_the_Desert

Import Wikipedia articles

Almost every article is a copy from Wikipedia that was once new but is now likely out date by 2-3 years. If it seems like it needs an update, you can click on the left margin under the logo "Special pages" and lower down on the right is "Import pages". This also applies to newer content on Wikipedia that may not have been there the first time it was crawled. I have no idea if they ever intend to make an update bot. I never get feedback on my ideas and suggestions.

One important thing before you "Import pages"... make sure it's not an InfoGalactic "fork" or even an original article where someone has edited the old WP content and built upon it. Do this by checking the history of the article to see how much activity or "history" has occurred, and if there are only two entries, one with the name of the last WP user and their version, and an entry from the bot or person who imported it.

Diverse viewpoints

If you come across alt-right, SJW, or corporatocracy content that you may have a differing perspectives there are options.

For something small just insert your own paragraph(s) explaining your perspective, and feel free to label their perspecives.

For example, my additional paragraph:

https://infogalactic.com/info/Milton_William_Cooper#The_Actual_Circumstances_Of_Cooper.27s_Death

I changed the previous section title to "Death (according to the "official" Wikipedia version)". I had put "alleged" in the Wikipedia article which was censored out, but that had prompted his neighbor to email me with the real story. I don't know how to cite my email, but I cleaned up his grammar but remained true to details and intent and included it under "The Actual Circumstances Of Cooper's Death". Something few people probably know about. I can't verify if the email is legit, though I don't know why he'd lie, but I can share it.

Some alt-right folks want to purge all SJW/MSM content from IG, but I think this is stupid. My solution, also endorsed by some, is to keep the MSM WP articles but LABEL it's biases in a "hat link" at the very top and create your own article with clearly labelled hat links indicating your perspective - and let the reader decide for themselves.

For more than 2 differing perspectives a neutral disambiguation page may be in order to allow the reader to decide for themselves what kind of spin they wish to digest, and all redirects should go there.

For example, the "Chomsky (disambiguation)" ( https://infogalactic.com/info/Chomsky_(disambiguation) ) features:

Noam Chomsky (born 1928), American linguist, philosopher, cognitive scientist, political activist, professor emeritus at MIT.

• Noam Chomsky (a conservative perspective), sees Chomsky as supporting communist totalitarian regimes and all their evils.

• Noam Chomsky (a liberal perspective), sees Chomsky as supporting socialist corporate Democrats despite all their evils.

• Noam Chomsky (a truther perspective), sees Chomsky as a gatekeeper, limited hangout, and government lifetime actor at MIT.

• Noam Chomsky (a Wikipedia perspective), with the "official" narrative bias of corporate media.

For a 2-sided perspective you might compare these pairs of articles, and take note of the top opening hat link statements.

https://infogalactic.com/info/Pizzagate (alternative version)

https://infogalactic.com/info/Pizzagate_conspiracy_theory (Wikipedia version)

https://infogalactic.com/info/Russian_interference_in_the_2016_United_States_elections (alternative version)

https://infogalactic.com/info/Russian_interference_in_the_2016_United_States_elections,_official_narrative (Wikipedia version)

I didn't do too much for that Pizzagate article. I think InfoGalactic might have been humming more back then. I started the Russiagate thing and assumed some of the alt-right guys might continue it but it seems not. Further, now that I know the Democrat story is bullshit, I've also learned the Republican story is bullshit, and The Antidote and that other thing I posted this week are actually digging up the dirt. No one in those high levels does not have global connections, much less with Russia.

Promotion + Truth

Wikipedia has policies that forbid anyone from advertising, promoting, or having you edit your own page, or having friends do it for you. If you are famous enough to have a Wikipedia page and they have the wrong information with citations, no matter how obvious, it's not supposed to be changed without a new citation. Getting friends to do something is forbidden, as is teaming up to form action groups. (Hypocritically ignoring their mobs of thug admins.)

InfoGalactic is the opposite, and encourages such things, as long as they are properly labelled, not slanderous, and as long as they are true from your perspective (ie. leftist, alt-right, anarchist, WP view). So promotional material is permitted and should be labelled as such.

I may add more stuff here as it comes to me.
