Let's say someone created a Wikipedia clone with Activitypub support, so you can freely read and edit articles on other servers. Basically the same way that Lemmy works. What would be a good name for such a project? Bonus points if the name goes with a cute animal mascot.

Edit: Here you can see the names of existing Fediverse projects.

Bullshitpedia? Sounds like "You dont believe my facts I defederate"

Wekipedia? Probably too similar, but then maybe that'd be a strength.

If you are a copy, you will always be in the shadow of the original
