Wikipedia's stifling bureaucracy, large-scale edit wars, deeply-rooted cliques, and appeal to the socially inept have produced scores of current and former editors with an all-consuming grudge against Wikipedia and its powerusers. Many of these Wikipedians have harnessed their boiling hatred and spoken out against the free online encyclopedia that anyone can edit. Their activism has, of course, been extremely ineffective.
But it's great drama. The internet is littered with dead blogs and surprisingly active anti-wikipedia communities that detail abuses of power, personal scandals among wikipedians, paid and biased editing, various 'cabal' leaks, and a host of other primo content. Here's a list of some of them for your entertainment.
Common terms
Wikimedia Foundation (WMF): The org that hosts Wikipedia. Known for being poorly-managed, opaque, and occasionally hiring abusive admins.
Jimmy/Jimbo Wales: Wikipedia co-founder and former porn hawker, the guy whose face you see every time Wikipedia begs for money. Known to be a bit of a gaffing idiot who stumbled onto a successful idea during the 90's dotcom boom. In Wikipedia's early days, he was embroiled in numerous scandals, so the Wikimedia Foundation stripped him of any real power.
Larry Sanger: Wikipedia's other co-founder and public critic. Tried and failed to create several Wikipedia competitors.
Admin/Administrator/Sysop:
Bureaucrat: (unpaid) giga
Steward: (unpaid) ultra-giga
Arbitration Committee/Arbcom: The system Wikipedia uses to settle disputes and discipline users via a panel of respected editors (i.e. powerusers). Exceptionally dramatic.
Articles for Deletion (AfD): The system where editors vote on whether to keep an article and include their rationale. Unsurprisingly gamed during edit wars and through the involvement of cabal members, causing seethe and drama.
Request for Adminship (RfA): The system for nominating and voting in admins. Success is achieved through popularity and politicking.
Cabal: A clique of editors and/or admins who spend way too much time on Wikipedia. It's such an entrenched and undeniable part of the culture that Wikipedia pokes fun at it.
Vandalism: The act of making high-quality, accurate contributions to Wikipedia.
Wikipedo/Wikipedocracy: A pejorative that developed due to the perception that Wikipedia was too friendly towards libertarians. You can find gentle reference to these scandals here.
Israel-Palestine: The cause of initial disillusionment for a huge proportion of anti-Wikipedians. The most controversial topic on the wiki.

Forums
WIkipedia Review the OG. It's now a zombie forum, though you can still access the old blog and access the threads through the forum's 'lofi version'.

Subreddits
These are all very small but much more populated with content than the average tiny sub. If you look at most users' post histories (e.g. /u/bbb23sucks -- bbb23 is a Wikipedian), it's ALL about wikipedia.
/r/Wikipedians (not intended to be anti-wiki, but for all intents and purposes it is)
/r/wikipediaafdwatch (a bot that posts every time an article's nominated for deletion)

I've always thought he was annoying, but I think they were running a fundraiser around the time I created this account back on reddit so I kept seeing his smug stupid face at the top of the page.
I try to never reuse account names to make doxxing harder, and I'm not very creative so I usually pick a username based on some dumb thing I happen to see.
What about yours? It's like a cryptid?

Oh, I assumed you were a disillusioned former-wikipedian.
