As a former Wikipedia administrator (I still read a lot of the project pages because oh is there still drama on the regular), this doesn’t surprise me in the least. The project I would say has long had left leaning bias, but in recent years their adherence to the neutral POV policy has declined (which is largely the reason for my departure).
Honestly, I could see a future where the project ends up tearing itself from within. Half the volunteer population can’t agree over stuff, and the Wikimedia Foundation constantly does dumb shit that ignores what the community wants.
