A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Sounds like basically the same reason I quit editing Wikipedia over a decade ago, so it's not just a generational thing.

You can still edit Wikidata, which has much looser criteria for inclusion. For example, BFDI is on there.

I know I can edit, I just don't want to any more. The fun got sucked out.

Well your message implied that the fun factor was destroyed by the requirement of secondary sources, which isn't really the case with Wikidata (although claims with sources are preferred), which is why I recommended Wikidata, but sure.
