Mmm.. Mastodon is decentralized.. each instance can have its own rules but mastadon.social is the "original" server .. pretty sure there are other instances that have no problem with posting information known to be wrong
Whatever and wherever. The Mastodon-verse can be like Wikipedia, cultic and intolerant of "certain" opinions. Doesn't seem to matter what those opinions are--but that scene (in general) tends strongly to the left. AND it's difficult to study or take surveys of.
Sure but there's little stopping anybody from setting up a server with MediaWiki or Mastodon running on it and they can be their own cult that is tolerant or intolerant of any particular opinion as they see fit

Have a nice day.

But since Disroot has way more functions than a standard Mastodon account, such as email and chat functions, account sharing might have to be limited to very select few specifically me and Eric Barbour at this time, due to the intention for using it to handle communciations that involve attorney-client privilege.

Uhm...please explain how finding stuff in the trash means anything: "Including millions of deleted articles, tens of millions of deleted revisions, and (!!!) hundreds of thousands of overnighted revisions" . I'm not quite grasping the significance of it.

Those revisions may contain indications which prove that Wikipedia admins can be nasty powertrippers and that Wikipedia has been taken over by deletionists.
