Introducing fedepedia.org!
This is a federated wiki instance powered by ibis. My goal is to collect and organize some Fediverse-related content here, but I'm totally cool with it hosting other entries too :)
Since it's federated, anyone from any instance (as long as that instance isn’t blocked) can edit entries here. That said, since there aren’t any articles yet, you'll need to register on this instance and create one before you can start editing.
This account will be sharing more updates about the instance. I really hope I can keep it running for a while so that it at least becomes another simple Fediverse wiki :P

Trump Threatens 200% Tariff On Wine, Champagne From European Union Nations
US President Donald Trump. Washington: US President Donald Trump said on Thursday he would put a 200% wine tariff on all wines and other alcoholic products coming out of EU countries if the bloc did not remove its tariff on whiskey.BYTESEU (Bytes Europe)
Columbia University, the epicenter of a number of issues, has conferenced their journalism students to tell them that if they are not US citizens, they should not publish anything likely to anger Trump, Russia, Israel, or the techbros, saying “Nobody can protect you.” They’ve been told to blank their social media of anything that might offend.
And yes, outrage is warranted, but Columbia has in its toolbox some of the brightest legal graduates and professors. If they don’t think they can lawyer up enough to stop this illegal curtailing of speech, the problem is a lot bigger than many people realize. Not the least of which is that other countries are dictating what people can say on American soil.
On one hand, the dean is trying to protect his students, on the other hand, never obey in advance.

Quote by MEE:
"Mar 11, 2025
"We will not leave, no matter what the circumstances and sacrifices are.”
Palestinians checked vehicles that were burnt by Israeli settlers in Umm Safa village, north of the West Bank city of Ramallah.
Al Jazeera reported in January that at least 1,800 settler attacks had taken place in the occupied West Bank since 7 October 2023. The Colonization and Wall Resistance Commission revealed another 230 settler attacks had happened in February this year."

It hurts me to say this, as an #American, but people need to avoid the #USA for 2 years, at least, 2027, when the #Democrats can get a majority in #Congress and stonewall #Trump
If that doesn't happen (which would be a serious tragedy), then 4 years. And if we get a #MAGA/ Trump president in 2029, write off this country for a generation at least

German Thru-Hiker Detained, Deported, and Banned From US - The Trek
An experienced thru-hiker traveling to the US to hike the AZT last month says she was treated inhumanely and deported without justification.Caitlin Hardee (The Trek)
I already canceled my plans to travel there with my daughter this year. For once i am no longer willing to spend any money into the US economy if i can avoid it and i too have the absolute horrible fear, to be separated from my daughter in some detention center cause they phantazise i'd really wanna immigrate into a country with daily school shootings but without healthcare from Germany .
I also fear, that there's no system left to end Trump in 4 years.
Mike Huckabee, tapped by Trump to be ambassador to Israel, was paid $50,000 in 2017 by a foreign agent of Qatar as part of a junket for American Jewish leaders. According to his new ethics agreement, he'll retain his ownership in the consulting company in his role leading the embassy.

Targeting sellers on Facebook Marketplace is the 'hot fraud,' police warn - Ottawa police say reverse e-transfer scams are on the rise
Be warned. This is kind of a basic #scam though:
Ducharme explained that when a person receives a reverse e-transfer deposit link, they may assume it's real because it looks almost identical to their bank's website. But as soon as they type in their username and password, they give the scammer on the other end access to their bank account.
