I was scrolling through "all" and thought this was a legit ad at first ๐Ÿ˜…

Wait does Fedi even have ads yet?

No need if we donate a little now and then, like wikipedia

I give every year when they send out that ad. "If everyone gives the same as , we'd be done in an hour"

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I gave until i realized how much money wikipedia has, to the point its own moderators are pushing back against further fundraising.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Having read through that, to me it sounds like the WMF have 'enough' money for 12-18 months ahead - which doesn't sound unreasonable.

Though I do agree the emotional blackmail I've experienced in the past from their fundraising ads would very much suggest otherwise.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Thats a good point, I would definitely give again if there was any sign they were actually in financial hardship.

In the end, the amount i donated more than offsets (likely by 100x) the amount of traffic i've generated.
