Jimmy Wales, the founder of the Wikimedia Foundation and creator of the Wikipedia platform, came up with another invention, with the promise to overthrow Facebook's reign of data protection and disinformation terror.

Called "WikiTribune Social" or WT:Social (https://wt.social/), it somewhat resembles Reddit's structuring in the sense you are able to follow several subjects and comment upon them. While it's still in development phase, registrations are already open. At the moment of this post, seems like just under 10.000 people have already joined.
Like Wikipedia itself, the platform will be supported with donations from its users, ad-free and independent. The initiative stems from Social Networks like Facebook, allegedly disregard personal information protection, which is often sold to third parties for profit.
