@ifixcoinops@retro.social But Dan, wikipedia editors are competitive pedants. If they aren't arguing over kilobytes or less of disk, then what will they argue about?

@ifixcoinops@retro.social Wikipedia in general is such a weird place when people start gatekeeping on what's worth keeping. There's a local version of the BBS culture, where the original article listed some of the known BBSes in Finland. That turned into a rope pulling match, with someone being hyperfixated on "not listing every never-heard box there" and people pointing out that the "never-heard" ones were multi-line systems with decade+ in existing. I get some night BBS that existed 4 months in 1994 might not be worth mentioning, but it just got so weirdly personal for this one person. I think a lot of participants in that just raised their hands and went their way saying "fuck contributing to Wikipedia".
