In my opinion genuine wikis provide a much nicer user experience, than Fandom wikis.

I am very well aware, that Fandom is based on MediaWiki. That, however, does not weaken my point at all. tsg
"Touch some grass", if anyone else is unfamiliar with the tla. Rather rude, since that is not even slightly clear in the original meme and I appreciated the extra information...
The additional info is not the issue, that I have with this comment, and is instead greatly appreciated. But the way it is communicated is also somewhat rude.
You are here arguing with people defending a meme you found. Look in the mirror when you tell others to touch grass; god damn, twin.
You are amazing and I hope you never stop being yourself, because it genuinely brings us all here joy to see memes you create. Apologies for sounding rude to you prior
It invalidates your point. You're trying to gatekeep what does and does not constitute a "wiki" while clearly having no idea what that word means. And if you knew Fandom uses MediaWiki, it clearly doesn't show in your meme, because a) Fandom is powered by MediaWiki so it's not mutually exclusive like Geordi implies, and b) like Fandom, most indie wikis in my experience don't use the "Powered by MediaWiki" icon either (just in case you'd go with that bizarre, last-ditch non sequitur of an argument). Your meme is nonsense if Fandom uses MediaWiki, which it does.
As for "genuine wiki", Fandom clearly meets all the points for being one – let alone that it literally uses the de facto wiki software. I'll let Wikipedia speak for this as an expert witness:
It doesn't seem like you're "well aware" of anything you're talking about except the general (correct) sentiment that Fandom sucks. Fandom sucks for so many reasons that it's legitimately impressive you managed to miss all of them while making this meme. I was being earnestly polite when you told me to touch grass, so since apparently even that is apparently escalatory, I'll just... not.
Buddy, this is a simple joke.
Nothing more.
