Wikipedia is run by a central NGO which is something I've advocated for. What we have now, and what folks are conversing about isn't a sane model like you propose. People really believe this place isn't going to have serious child porn, disinformation, and censorship issues without someone competent taking over the main policing and privacy concerns.

Laws + costs of a server. Cloudflare is 100% in talks warning lemmy.world they aren't going to support them for free/$20/month.
I love how you dismiss the compliance as all you need. As if it isn't a crazy topic that requires a lawyer every other day plus hiring a team and creating a process to deal with child porn shit.
None of you know half the reality of running successful digital services.
I have been laughed at and down voted every single fucking time I point out how woefully unprepared every fucking instance is.
The free model is flawed and will be unsuccessful every fucking time there is any signs popular server. And users aren't going to tolerate moving fucking servers every month.
You think cloudflare is going to keep on protecting lemmy.world each week on their free/professional their? Enterprise starts at 20k a year before traffic, good luck raising that kind of yearly money on a hobby server.
And then there is GDPR and CCPA all of which are ignored and clearly not being enforced just waiting for a lawsuit.
Oh and I do I need to explain to you people the child porn reporting mechanisms that need to be in place?
The only way if this bullshit is successful it's if someone starts a no profit e.g Mozilla foundation and acts like a functioning adult running a business vs a 16 year old tinkering with Linux.
Bring on the down votes and compium.
Nothing. DDoS mitigation is inherently an ISP or someone like cloudflare. You will not have success against anybody who knows what they are doing without their help.
Fuck me and my allergies. I guess I didn't need to use the library anyways.
