Liberapedia is a website that was created in response to Conservapedia. It modestly claims to be "Saving The World From Neoconservative Fascist Hatemongering Racists".
However its creator stated that it was created to parody Conservapedia and advises that: "most articles should take stereotypical liberal views and distort them to the extreme" The creator of Liberapedia, WillH has left the site, leaving no active bureaucrats. The remaining sysops could not handle the incoming spam, and moved to a new site hosted at wikia, where the new “founder” is Ajuk.
Unfortunately no one bought up the URL of Old Liberapedia, and the old site continued to operate for some time. Since Google ranked the old site higher than the new one, visitors might have been confused. The old site has since expired, and the domain name now hosts a placeholder site.
Liberapedia includes serious articles as well as parodies, and there is often no clear distinction between the two. Although its stated goal is to be a parody encyclopedia, the serious content contradicts this.
Cyberbullying
One contributor to both RationalWiki and Liberapedia has accused a minority of RationalWiki users of cyberbullying.[1] The user used the same usernames on both wikis, and complains that her privacy was not respected. Potential users may want to start accounts with usernames that can't be recognised at other websites to prevent trolls following them round the Internet. It might also be a good idea to not link to other wikis on your userpage.[2]
