A former employee of Wikipedia’s parent company has filed a federal lawsuit alleging she was fired after reporting her direct supervisor for gender discrimination and harassment.
The woman, Kayla Mae, was hired by the Wikimedia Foundation in November 2022, where she worked as a software engineer for nearly two years.
Her role allowed her to work remotely from Texas, and she was assigned to work on a team managed by Dennis Mburugu, a Wikimedia employee based in Kenya.
Within the first few months of her employment, she encountered problems with Mburugu, according to her complaint. Among other things, Mburugu asked her inappropriate questions about her sexual identity — she is a transgender female — and inquired about her medical history, Mae wrote in the complaint.
Because this is a multiple-used shared identity by a number of whistleblowers who wants to protect their identity. The lawsuit basically vindicates what we’re trying to warn people about over the past few months.
Who’s we?
I am wary of it. This and the propaganda against Bernie lately makes me think this is more fuckery to get the left to turn on things it likes. Don’t forget Trump and his ilk recently threatened Wikipedia because it was allowing information they don’t like and for DEI.
How do I know you’re not just another troll farm vegetable?
Edit: and digging deep into the accounts history has proven my point.
Just to be clear, we’re not against the general notion of “free knowledge movement”. Rather we’d love it if there are viable competitors to Wikipedia.
Edit: You can always go to dumps.wikimedia.org to download a copy of Wikipedia encyclopedic articles and start a fork from there.
