Wiki ideology pervades large public wikis. We should avoid it:
- neutral point of view, i.e. community point of view is God's Eye View, which encourages systemic bias by bringing in and reinforcing one's own faction by technological escalation
- virtual community, i.e. confusing epistemic community with no body at risk with real bodily reality community where some body needs protecting, this leads directly to such other-body-risking games as outing
- developer vigilantiism, a form of direct technological escalation
- sysopism, just trusting a gang of thugs to judge and mediate the above
Many people believe these are just variants of fascism and racism, or a particularly virulent sort of capitalism where those with infrastructure owners trust can run rampant, and this is justified by property rights.
