InfraWiki[note 1] is a neo-fascist (self-described as "MAGA Communist") hate blog founded in October 2022 by a member of ProleWiki following his ban.
History
InfraWiki was founded in late 2022 by an ex-administrator of ProleWiki (another self-declared communist encyclopedia)[1][note 2] with patriotic socialist sympathies a few weeks after his ban from the latter site after his attempts at subverting it were discovered and its resultant rejection of Patriotic socialism and "MAGA Communism".
Similar to other far-right websites, InfraWiki is frequently the target of vandalism on account of its reactionary views. This was particularly the case during the initial months of its founding.[2]
Structure
Social media
InfraWiki has accounts on many media platforms, including the alt-right sites TruthSocial and Parler. InfraWiki's accounts have often faced banning or other restrictions due to the prevalence of reactionism, at times to the extent of hate speech, found in their rhetoric.[3]
Content
InfraWiki has virtually no regulations on its content, allowing for low-quality edits to be made in addition to self-promotion. The site usually relies on social-media posts and other user-generated content for sourcing. The site recommends far-right media outlets for sourcing, including the conspiratorialist outlet InfoWars and islamophobic hate blog JihadWatch.[4]
