Announcing the encyclosphere plugin!
- Adds #encyclosphere results to DuckDuckGo & Google searches.
- The built-in reader opens free articles (incl. Wikipedia, which is blockable) direct from WebTorrent.
- You can seed articles from your open tabs!
encyclosphere.org/plugin more 👇
This turns your browser into an active participant in a truly decentralized *public-driven* knowledge network.

Just install the Chrome/Brave plugin from encyclosphere.org/plugin.

You can customize how many articles each tab seeds, when Wikipedia results appear, and more.
We've been setting up the network this year. It's getting better and better. In 2023, we're going to fill up a bunch of servers with millions of articles from many sources.

This is free software and we are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. We need your support: encyclosphere.org/donate

@elonmusk @stillgray @jimmy_wales Hey @elonmusk, I am “the other” co-founder of Wikipedia. The ex-founder, I like to say. I actually pushed and led the idea of a wiki encyclopedia in the project’s seminal first year. Read what I wrote about why neutrality is so important here: larrysanger.org/2022/03/why-ne…
@elonmusk @stillgray @jimmy_wales Wikipedia is another example of oppressive Internet centralization. The solution is to build on a new, open standard for encyclopedias: the ZWI file format and the #encyclosphere. See EncycloReader.org and EncycloSearch.org aim to bring together all the encyclopedias.
@elonmusk @stillgray @jimmy_wales The files, the file format, the network, the software—it’s all free. Please ask your many followers to support the 501(c)(3) Knowledge Standards Foundation: mightycause.com/organization/K…

I am a Mom, first.

This is why I am donating to @ks_found today. #GivingTuesday

I am also a designer, citizen, and individual, who believes in freedom of body, mind, thought, words, choices and knowledge.
On the earth now, we are at a crossroads & at every point we must stand up for freedom. Each of us, at every point, in any way that we can.

Freedom is not for free, never has been. Many of us see before us tyranny. Tyranny of ideas, words, information, education, knowledge.
We see it. We know it in our bones.

It is a dark road ahead if we do not stand up now for freedom, in any way that we can.

I am a designer & former professor. I have taught the history of propaganda, know the symbols, the cadence, nuance and power of imagery, color, typography.

"Like a reflection in a funhouse mirror, my vision appears to me in a twisted, monstrous form, which I disown. Wikipedia is of no great help to truth-seekers. I would prefer to be known as the project's ex-founder."

"Wikipedia's moral decline...reflects that of the larger Internet. ... Even more fundamentally, what the decline of Wikipedia and social media have in common is the concentration...of authority on the Internet."
