Let’s say someone created a Wikipedia clone with Activitypub support, so you can freely read and edit articles on other servers. Basically the same way that Lemmy works. What would be a good name for such a project? Bonus points if the name goes with a cute animal mascot.

Edit: Here you can see the names of existing Fediverse projects.

    I think decentralization mostly shines in sharing. Comunopedia would obviously do what I’m thinking but I bet there’s some who would feel scared of it.

      Naming an ideally unbiased reference source after an economic model that has a storied political past doesn’t make sense.

        You do understand that “communism” comes from the root “communal”, meaning belonging to a commune, i.e. a group of people sharing a social scope, right?

          Absolutely. It’s also a known economic model with a storied history.

          Sorry, but it’s name clash.
