I’ll never contribute to Wikipedia because they block VPNs

They should really unblock them. I know it’s not always easy to combat these problems, but a dedicated individual can break articles using non-VPN IPs like mobile data IPs

They not only enforce IP bans on account creation but on every single edit you make, even if logged in…

It's not an open website at all. It severely privileges hegemonic editors promoting the status quo. Thus it's actually a right-wing website.
