    It is a modern library of Alexandria, free to all globally and community built. It’s genuinely an amazing surviving piece of the old internet. No one is saying it’s the only place, but it is vitally important and a huge deal if it goes away. Shame on you for downplaying that.

      Unfortunately it’s not exactly community built, but more like a class of chronically online editors control it and prevent heterodox views and ideas from being added entirely.

      I’m not trying to downplay it, but to say it’s the be all and end all of all historical knowledge is factually incorrect and myopic.
