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 bet a year ago you would have said the exact same things about Lemmy, and yet here you are.

I understand the difference between a centralized and decentralized service. I WANT Wikipedia to be centralized. I've said that since the beginning. Objective truth has no business being splintered up.
