Just wanted to check some user reviews for a serie, now IMDB forces me to create an account. Such bullshit to read some reviews. No fucking way. Fuck corporate enshittification. Fuck IMDB. Fuck Amazon.

Is there a Fediverse IMDb equivalent?
IMDB started as an open wikipedia type website where everyone contributed content about movies and actors.
As soon as volunteers had added enough content that it was really useful, the IMDB creators locked out the contributors and sold it.
Not everything needs to be fediverse.
Anyway, TMDB and TVDB are potential rivals
The way things are going, I’d argue otherwise lol
Just found out one of the site runners I believe it was @nutomic@lemmy.ml is making a federated wiki, which is terrific considering how wikis work and the process of filtering out the ideological bullshit on Wikipedia itself. Less drama since there’s split, more tightly-knit teams, but also consider the possibility of being caugut up in multiple wiki moderation wars simultaneously 🤔 who knows if it would increase or decrease overall moderation spaghetti
The point is, what could possibly be worse than the current wikipedia moderation? They are absolute nolifer hellions
Yes its called Ibis: https://ibis.wiki/
This feels like a shoehorned approach.
IMO the way musicbrainz solves it, is a good approach.
I’d say everything needs to be federated so one company doesn’t get to be a single broker of information
Does you argument also apply to Wikipedia and Musicbrainz?
They are both open (Musicbrainz is even public domain) and you can download the entirety of the database
Both are crowdsourced pieces of knowledge
To a lesser degree, you can also get the data of TMDB with some workarounds (example: developer.themoviedb.org)
So they arent exactly locked into their knowledge vault and can be downloaded daily just in case of a bail/bait and switch
I mean yea to that too because when jimmy wales steps down eventually the next show runner might not have the same morals

There’s an invidious-type equivalent for imdb, libremd, but it unfortunately tends to break and may not have been updated in a while.
EDIT: You can try and see if there are any instances of it that still work.
EDIT EDIT: Couldn’t get a single instance to work. I think the project might need someone new to take it over.
