What happens in case of conflict regarding process, style or "objectivity" #30

Closed BMaxV closed 4 months ago

"All articles and edits are automatically synchronized between instances. You can also deploy Ibis on your own server by following the Setup_Instructions." (from the announcement)

One of the things that I dislike about wikipedia is that there a "in-group" that decides on method, style and sometimes what is and what isn't accepted as "objective" or "good source".

And I think it would actually be very helpful to have clearly stated and "objective from their point of view" articles written by certain groups of interest, with a good/easy method to find differences.

So, is there an option to disable this synchronization and to actively, consciously fork the "objective" article?

If you are an instance admin then you are the "in-group" that decides which edits to allow for your local articles. Of course this depends on mod tools being implemented first, particularly https://github.com/Nutomic/ibis/issues/26 and #27.

If you dont like the way a remote article is written or managed, there is an option to fork it to the local instance under /article/{title}/actions. Also articles are only synchronized if a local user follows the remote instance.
