+====== Decentralized Encyclopedia ======
+I've been using this wiki to catalog what I'm learning.  My interests are diverse, so the site covers more than just health and technology.  "A conventional mind straining hard to almost touch mediocrity."  Film: Poor Things 2023.

+++++ About My Search For A Wiki Platform |
+===== What Would Be An Ideal Social Wiki? =====
+One novel idea was to have a peer to peer Wikipedia.  That's an encyclopedia where there is no centralized control of the content.  I experimented with [[http://www.nmai.ca/research-projects/universal-peer-to-peer/p2pedia|P2Pedia]] and Socialwiki.  For any article, users upvote the content they like best, and depending on the algorithm, also view the content they like best, based on their upvotes and associations with other users.  The algorithm is controlled by the user.  They have a menu of favorite algorithms, allowing them to view topics written by different groups or contributors with differing opinions.
+However, I didn't find much of a scene for a peer to peer encyclopedia.  Adding to my critique of P2Pedia and Socialwiki, is the requirement to be logged in to view any content?  (please check)  Also, most shared hosting isn't going to let you play with their Apache server, to set up Tomcat, which P2Pedia relies on.
+===== WT Social =====
+According to Wikipedia, http://wt.social is a hybrid of microblogging and social networking.  WT Social has a collaboration feature, so I'm not sure if this could be used to create lengthy articles just like Wikipedia?  That would not be very "micro" in terms of blogging.
+===== Everipedia =====
+https://blocksdecoded.com/wikipedia-vs-everipedia
+[[https://everipedia.org |Everipedia]] is another option.  For a [[https://trybe.one/getting-started-on-everipedia-choosing-a-login-method |full account]], you will have to have obtain a [[https://get-scatter.com |Scatter Account]] and buy EOS currency.  [[https://everipedia.org/iq-info |Other wallets]] besides Scatter are supported, but I'm not sure how, as Scatter is the only full account login option showing.
+The popularity of Everipedia is low, and I don't know if it will survive in the long run, but I don't mind adding some content from my own wiki to theirs, and possibly getting some feedback via the contributions of others.
+===== Dokuwiki vs Other Wikis =====
+I chose Dokuwiki out of several different types of platforms. I settled on Dokuwiki for it's simplicity.  It doesn't use a database; it works off of plain text files.  A wiki is inherently different than a blog, which classifies by the age of the post.
+===== Dokuwiki vs Blog =====
+While a blog uses tags to organize content into categories, article entries are static.  With a wiki, you can continue to improve an article over time.  It's designed for organizing the content in a way that you can edit and organize everything to do with one topic at once.  In a blog, your entries on one topic may be scattered.

+===== Privacy Policy =====
+I use Matomo because it is really satisfying to know that someone is actually looking at my site.  It pleases me to think that I may be useful to you.  Thank you for visiting.
+I'm considering having Google ads to improve my SEO rankings.  What a sell out!
+Definition of sell-out: "to give up support for a person or belief for money or personal advantage" [[https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/english/sell-out |cambridge.org]]
