First year I change my one time $20 donation to a recurring $2.75 a month. I use wiki and they deserve to be customer funded vs the big corps controlling our free access to information
God what a fucking moron
I told myself during my undergrad that if I ever made enough money, I would support a handful of causes. Wiki is on top of that list. I donate $20 monthly so don’t feel bad if you aren’t able to yet. It takes a village. One day when I’m on a fixed income, someone else can make that lavish $20/month donation :-)
Honestly thought, I need to reevaluate if I can give more. Thanks for reminding me Apartheid Musk!
not much, but it helps
Everything counts!
Wikipedia is arguably the best website on all of the internet.
Like, if you wanted one website to survive the apocalypse or whatever, it’s probably Wikipedia.
Thanks for the reminder. Just donated!
I’ve never donated to Wikipedia. I have now donated to Wikipedia.
This man did more for Wikipedia than those annoying Wikipedia messages could ever do
I had an uncle who was a rabid Trump supporter. Ultranationalist, White Supremacist and Bible thumper. (its even weirder that my uncle is a Canadian living in the US who refuses to get US citizenship).
he moved to Texas because he wanted to get away from the “morally bankrupt liberals” in California, moved to Texas because Elon went there. I think the only person he loved more than Trump was Elon.
then suddenley, one day he told the family that he wasn’t following Elon anymore, and that Elon is evil. I’d really like to hear what he has to say about it. Except there is zero contact because the guy is so deranged he made death threats against my mother. So we’re keeping him at length and not giving him any sense of welcome that he can come back into our lives, or worse yet, come visit physically.
still, would be interesting to see into the mind of a lunatic.
“All my ex’s are woke! My child, who hates me, is woke! The IRS is Woke! The advertisers who don’t want to give me money are woke! Woo oooohhh ooooh, everything I hate is woke~” 🎶
Advertisers who don’t want to give me money after I literally told them to fuck off
“How can someone I told to fuck off don’t want to give me money!? That’s literally communism!!”
a new popular front is forming:
My God, this is amazing.
how do I join?
I’m sure the bar for membership is low, about waist high, but you will have to practice your spinning kick.
I am willing to learn and devote a serious amount of time to this
Can we have some context for that picture?
Streisand effect
Ah, thanks. I wasn’t sure which rich person I was supposed to recognize from this.
“The Wikimedia Foundation wishes to thank Elon Musk for our sudden large rush of donations…”
I donate each time anyways, will double it this time. May Elon choke on an orange hog this Christmas.
You mean the orange man’s hog? I think it’s more the other way around.
Never donated before today. Thanks elon I guess 👍
Me neither but just did.
Yeah it’s been a while since I last donated and there is some light controversy around how Wikipedia goes about asking for money but I still believe in their mission.
So fuck you Musk, have a twenty Wikipedia.
True?
No, but I’m guessing it will be if this news spreads.
I’m hoping that too 🤞
For those of you with workplace donation platforms, Wikipedia/wikimedia are usually registered and eligible for company match, so is the web archive.
Time to donate
After reading your coment I’ve donated 10 euro ; )
Same
I had been clicking past the donate reminder so far this year. Thanks for the reminder to get it done today before the new year.
Runs platform based on lies and hates platform based on truth. Check notes yeah that about sums it up.
Did they start banning corporate and government mass editors?
