The funder/founder of InfoGalactic is Vox Day. I've never seen him on there.

He's religious and alt-right. He has a sizable following. I've posted some of his interesting Darkstream videos. Most are tedious.

They are developing Social Galactic. I don't know any other details about that.

He's started Unauthrorized.tv to selectively host videos. You can't freely join. You have to build a following and be invited (or maybe you can apply). Owen Benjamin is a big draw.

They publish books. Milo just wrote 2 books.

I don't know anything about shady shit. I'm willing to hear it.

Installing a MediaWiki is so simple I did it on this box at home. I know nothing about maintaining or administering a wiki. I know there's an international HUGE amount of support resources.

Also, I don't want to manage it. I would contribute, and utilize it, and help out. But I intend to develop my own anti-establishment media content, not platform.

Honestly, I'd rather see someone develop a MediaWiki kit that would emulate the Reddit/SaidIt-style forum format, and port it over to that larger codebase with greater tools. Of course CSS themes would be entirely different, but the rest could potentially be made to appear similar.

There's already a WikForum (https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:WikiForum) and lots of integrations, patches, protocols, etc etc etc https://duckduckgo.com/?q=mediawiki+forum+integration Stuff I don't know about.

FYI there's a /r/MediaWiki and I bet you could create a /r/PortRedditToMediaWiki. There are other things I don't know about too: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=mediawiki+reddit+integration

This is an interesting MediaWiki vs RedditWiki comparison discussion, though Reddit-biased https://github.com/Arlen22/TW5Docs/issues/3 I don't know how good WP:TiddlyWiki is, but I suspect it doesn't have the power of MW.

Let's just not do that.

There's no way I'm setting up a wiki.

No one is making you.

I can set up another one again, if I hear support and later get support. I can buy the domain on May 1. I'll need to find a good server. Maybe I can test the waters for some new servers M7D3 want to try, buy some hosting there, let them co-admin so they can play with the buttons and maybe tweak the controls. Invite Robin to co-admin. Maybe invited Crew from InfoGalactic too. There are a few there that are decent but mostly it's sparsely populated.

I can try to do some extensions, addons and stuff, but I really don't want to delve into time sucks there when I know there's a better use of my attention and skills to create agitprop.

I wonder if Wikindo.it is taken.
