    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

    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!

    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.

    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.

    For those of you with workplace donation platforms, Wikipedia/wikimedia are usually registered and eligible for company match, so is the web archive.
