There really aren’t any alternatives. At least nothing as all-encompassing as those two
I stand by that Wikipedia is truly the greatest site on the entire Internet, no real reason to create a competitor when you can download the entirety of it for free
Best bet is probably a book.
Kinda annoying to have to deal with updates though…
I don’t know if it’s good yet, but I think one of the Lemmy devs is trying to make a federated Wikipedia. I honestly don’t see the need for it, but it’s his time and if he wants to work on it, great. I wish him well.
Everything2.org was a significant wikipedia competitor back in the early 00s. It’s still up but I havent been there in a decade and a half. Could be worth your time, it was interesting to get lost in back in the Web 1.0 days

archive.org is great for borrowing old books, that you probably can’t get your hands on otherwise. Just need a bit of research following references to find titles to search for.
