Allow me to add a couple relevant tags for #Wikipedia 's #Wikipedian #Wikipedians and #Wikimedian #Wikimedians to become aware of this critique. #WMF members and related #wiki movements may also be interested.

you might know me as @rexo@based.social; unfortunately, that server died and i've lost a bunch of my followers :c but i'm happy with my new home.
a bit about me:
- i like #trains/#publictransport, #sushi, #bears and #cats
- i write questionable code sometimes
- i am a #wikimedian and @revoltchat@mastodon.social dev
- i maintain @rvmob@lea.pet
i would be very grateful to anyone sharing this to help me reconnect with everyone, but regardless thanks for stopping by and have a great day! :3
