I imagine we will be saying goodbye to many such things soon, in the extreme maybe yhe entire idea of a global internet and many open projects like Wikipedia, I can’t see how they can coexist with our world now without being shut down or subverted into evil, might as well go out on their own terms.
I do hope a copy exists somewhere, perhaps waiting for a brighter day. Maybe that’s naive, but maybe truth and knowledge will become a goal again one day.

I don’t have the storage capacity required personally

The compressed text only dump is about 25gb.
It only grows to many terabytes if you include all revisions and media files

The evil Wikipedia already exists, it’s called Metapedia

For anyone who doesn’t know (as I didn’t), metapedia is pretty clear Nazi apologist crap, just to save you checking/ending up on a watchlist.

But is it a good list or a bad list these days. I’m confused. /s

Eh it’s not really the same thing, there’s plenty of these sorts of things like rationalwiki and prolewiki and whatnot. I meant the Wikipedia itself
