I have donated in the past, but then there were wild accusations, people saying it’s not needed, it’s to fund other things, and so on and so forth.
Yesterday I got the popup begging for a couple of euros, so what’s the status? Should I donate or is it a waste of time and money?
Cheers
Edit: Thanks for all the insightful posts! I’m jobless at the moment so just ten bucks this time:
I’m not giving money to Wikipedia anymore until they move out of the United States personally.
There is the concern of the us government getting your information through donations.
That is one of the reasons. The other reason for me is, Wikipedia’s stated values are incompatible with staying in the US. So as long as they’re there, they don’t meet my expectations.
Yeah I wonder why they don’t go anywhere else, as a non-profit, what incentives do they have to stay in the US?
I was giving Wikipedia 5 bux occasionally and stopped.
I decided the same for archive.org. I’m amazed they got an extension at all under the Orange but I seriously doubt they’re long for this world and it’s probably not realistic they even could move unlike Wikipedia.
