ProleWiki is a proletarian Marxist-Leninist encyclopedia, kinda like Wikipedia but based.
In June 2022, a very committed "Hoxhaist" joined our encyclopedia. He quickly got into fights (also did on Lemmygrad) with the other editors especially about China, which he called fascist and quoted the Economist as a source on.
In November 2022, he left the project willingly and added a "retired" mention to his user page. 3 days later exactly, he came back with a petition to essentially give him more control over the encyclopedia (a right of veto on approval/denial of account requests for example) and essentially go against our democratic principles to make the encyclopedia more like how HE wanted it to be. This petition was supported only by him.
This was refused because why would we agree to it, and after that he got into a huge debate where he insulted the founder of the encyclopedia (he never really talked to me as he believed I was just a lackey for the founder). This was sort of the last straw out of many, and he got banned because clearly no consensus was gonna be reached.
It was his MO, he'd get into long debates and never ever budge no matter how many arguments were presented or how many people participated.
After that he got absolutely obsessed with Prolewiki -- he admitted himself it was "unhealthy" but he "could not bring himself to stop thinking about prolewiki" (brother idgaf? that sounds like a you problem not ours)
I'm tired y'all lol. Why are Statesians so fedpilled? You don't see this type of terminally online hijacking in Europe, like this weird dude, patsocs, or weird Maoist "groups" that are like one guy and their friends.
Literally stalker behaviour, and we've come to understand this guy has a god complex and is probably an abuser IRL, because he sure acts like one online. Some stuff he pulled NONSTOP since november 2022:
- kept trying to create fake accounts on prolewiki which we figured out in minutes (and on lemmygrad too)
- made articles on his blog about us, which he finally took down (I think some of our editors started spamming them to make him stop)
- made a twitter with 0 followers just to tag us when he smeared our name, then deleted it when called out.
- wrote a completely fabricated page about us on leftypedia, which we got overturned, and wrote a page on rationalwiki too before he got banned for soapboxing.
- Pretended his fake accounts were not him. To this day he claims some account are not his*
- be an insufferable "akshually" type of guy.
- claimed we were fabricating screenshots (like of our public twitter convos) and then fell silent when we showed him the archive page.
- and the latest, made a discord for a project to infiltrate prolewiki and make it anti-revisionist!! Idk if the discord is still up as it has no invite links online from what we can tell (not anymore at least).
* a bit more on this, we made this picture public because it was hilariously cringe: https://i.imgur.com/KRY5EeV.png. He said it was "allegedly" something he said, and then changed his youtube channel name to "ComradeWenger". He did that repeatedly with various account (reddit account was deleted btw, he does that too)
This guy has never given ONE CENT to prolewiki (so far for two years it's been paid by the volunteer admins and founder, and then one year paid by a very generous person who didn't even participate on it) and he thinks it's too "Dengist" for his personal terminally online brain, and so he wants to recruit people to infiltrate it or something. He had a post up about it but I forgot to archive it (probably still exists somewhere though). But essentially he wanted to "relegate the current administration team" (me and the founder after we banned the patsoc) to a "largely ceremonial role" and essentially appoint himself as the admin. Good luck with that bro lmao.
Like he claimed on leftypedia and rationalwiki that "many editors" were in agreement with him (none were, we routinely make fun of him on the discord when he pops up), or that we banned "25" anti-revisionists (we banned like 5-6 real people total, ban logs are public on mediawiki). Lies after lies to make himself seem like some kind of moral hero fighting against the evil corrupted state or something.
This is the second time it happens too! The first time we had to ban an admin because he was an infra patsoc and he wanted to infiltrate the wiki too.
Why do Statesians have to be like that comrades, we just want to live peacefully, y'all are allowed to make your own wiki if you want. Settler mentality permeates even the "communists" over there.
It's tiring. We've been patient with him, we've been reasonable, we've been logical, and still he continues on this weird campaign.
In the three months he's been doing this he could have learned to host mediawiki himself and created his own anti-revisionist encyclopedia if he wanted to. Find people who want to start this with him. We would have probably even helped him.
He's delusional. He thinks prolewiki has reached like half a billion people or something. In truth we get 125 daily unique visits on average, so over 2 years we've existed that averages to ~100k visitors total. He doesn't care about this though, he's created his own reality for prolewiki which has become a dragon he must slay. Meanwhile we're just here trying to exist. Like we got lots of stuff to do on the wiki too.
Edit: he also obsessively checks prolewiki for new changes and lemmygrad as well, because he's sent us stuff that just popped over both platforms sometimes.
Honestly I'm glad the editors decided to take this upon themselves and started spamming him. It finally made him shut up for a bit -- although we still caught one of his alts while this was going on so I don't think this is gonna stop any time soon.
that's great, now please go to the comm c/chapotraphouse and post a picture of your dick and balls, that's the only way this conversation can continue. sorry i don't make the rules.
From his voice he seems to sound older (he has a youtube), but we're not sure either way.

Why do all these types unironically talk like supervillains? It's a whole nother level of western individualist brainworms lmao
All posters are -- at their core -- theater kids who, for one reason or another, never got to try acting.
ComradeWenger....
I know this name but I don't know where from. Gut tells me that I've had a run in with them either in subreddit moderation or certain discords.
You may remember them from lemmygrad. Wisconcom/Fiscornus/ComradeWenger is all the nicknames he uses.
Lemmy MAYBE? It's impossible for me to look now because the account history is banned. I suspect I had a significant argument with them about China in the past though and having far too many run-ins with people like them as well as the neoliberals infesting the place while the site mods were chastising me for being incivil led to me feeling too tired to continue fighting on it.
I don't think I had any big disagreements on Lemmygrad. Although they also seemed to not be able to recognise wreckers that were trying to convince them to defederate from Lemmy at the time.
