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 don't have the time to read all of that, but everyone should know that alternative medicine is another word for not medicine.

It's bizarre that people still believe stuff like that and other pseudoscience.

All the bad conspiracy theories around ADD, ADHD, Autism, and it's various medications are really getting on my nerves.

And it feels like it will just keep on getting worse. It's insane how much (at least apparent) movement the anti vac crowd are getting.

Sorry for the rant.
