| This Wiki is supposed to be a contact point for people who don't know much, or anything about the Fediverse yet.
| |
| | |
| So especially the [[Main Page]], [[What is the Fediverse?]] and other [[:Category:Beginners guide | Beginners guides]] should be written in simple and easy to understand English. <br>
| |
| Other pages in the category [[:Category:Advanced]] are meant for advanced users, but should still be written as understandable as possible.
| |
| | |
| == Guidelines ==
| |
| | |
| Please don't remove text or heavily rewrite it before talking about it in the corresponding talk page.<br>
| |
| Please don't promote bigotry or "free speech" instances.

| For each platform's "What is X?" page, certain categories may be present when applicable:
| |
| * What does X feel like?
| |
| * What are some advantages over [the platform which X can serve as a replacement for]?
| |
| * What are some limitations?
| |
| * Further Reading
| |
| * (What are X forks and why use them?) <- I think that only applies to Mastodon ([[User:Paula]])

| == Advocacy guide ==
| |
| | |
| ''Main article: [[Meta:Advocacy guide]]
| |
| | |
| We want to advocate for the Fediverse and it's projects here, not write in a neutral tone like Wikipedia. <br>
| |
| On the [[:Category:Beginners guide | beginners pages]] we do that by highlighting the benefits of the Fediverse, without going in too much detail about the horrors of traditional social media. <br>
| |
| We can then go deeper in additional pages.
