I keep feeling frustrated as valuable knowledge for my different hobbies over the last years became siloed away in corporate social media. I believe wikis could be a way out, but can we have decentralized, federated wiki software that can kind of talk among each other?

    Thanks for your detailed explanation. The IPFS seems to be run by one guy also involved in something cryptocurrency, that looks a bit fishy to me. (Just a personal first impression by me, who has no clue and might be all wrong). From quickly looking into both I would probably prefer sth like git, as it has been around for longer. How is git not decentralized - as I understand, with git the files are stored on several machines and everyone can make and commit changes? I might still be struggling to understand the whole concept of decentralized here. Github is owned by Microsoft apparently and I won’t touch their stuff unless I really have to.
