An Alternative to Conservapedia (Amended) 0

Phillybits has been tracking Conservapedia since it first burst ignorantly on the scene to spread ignorance.

Now comes El Reg with the news that Conservapedia has competitionedia.

Those among you who feel that Conservapedia – the “conservative encyclopedia you can trust” dedicated to countering liberal bias – is not sufficiently tough on Marxist-Leninist dogma are directed forthwith to Metapedia, the “alternative encyclopedia dedicated to the pro-European cultural struggle”.

No, I’m not linking to it. If you want to see what it’s like, follow the link to El Reg.

It’s interesting.

The goal of Wikipedica is to provide a compendium of knowledge, how imperfectly the execution.

The goal of Conservapedia is to slant knowledge. They proceed virtually unnoticed, except by their patrons, because, frankly, what’s another rightwing propaganda outfit when we have Fox News?

The goal of this Metapedia outfit is to push knowledge off a cliff.

This website does not track you.

It contains no private information. It does not drop persistent cookies, does not collect data other than incoming ip addresses and page views (the internet is a public place), and certainly does not collect and sell your information to others.

Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.

I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.

Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).

I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.
