đź“ž How does KEG compare to Wikipedia?
KEG is more like if Twitter and Wikipedia “had a baby” (as mossy_machines) put it. KEG fundamentally is only a specification for how to organize content in a sustainable, exchangeable way, nothing more. There are, however, a number of significant differences:
- Wikipedia promotes antagonistic editing practices
- Wikipedia never has a single voice making it hard to read
- Wikipedia is regularly inaccurate and controlled by trolls
- Wikipedia has no criteria for who is an author
- Wikipedia is a centralized, non-profit service that begs for money
And as for KEG:
- KEG promotes community policing and trust building
- KEG promotes a single editorial voice and theme per KEG
- KEG content is decentralized and can be aggregated any number of ways
- KEG has no financial concerns since it is simply an open specification
- KEG motivates quality content to get on FOLLOW and not AVOID lists
- KEG content can be signed by the creator ensuring authenticity
- KEG services are always catering to the users and creators
