Yo wtf. This sounds alarming. Should I stop donating?
Yes. Negating a voluntary union shows who/what they are. I personally no longer believe they are good guys or that wikimedia is un-compromised truth. It has long been possible for the Epstein class to ‘manage’ certain articles towards what they want to show (I learned about it through the Epstein case). Here, the point is that if ONE article can be manipulated by the ruling class - no matter how - they ALL can, and that’s not worth supporting.
Yeah because there are other reasons to not donate. The donations do not go to wikipedia but to lots of projects of the foundation that you might or might not support. They are also getting way too much money in donations, like an unsustainably large amount. Also they just keep lying in their calls for donations. This is a very controversial topic actually. Lots of community threads about it.
Yes, the wmf has so many problems, especially its bloated administration. Also it’s run by US government regime-change agents like Katherine Maher, who steer the site to pro-US viewpoints.
Yes it’s a massive grift.
One note is that when I checked Wikipedia’s list of “Wikis”, I noticed in its history there was an attempt to add the ProleWiki and AnarWiki, by the same user, who also tried removing the fascist’s “wiki”. Unfortunately, that got reverted.
“no one will cancel their monthly do-”
I just did. If they want it back, they’ll have to build my trust back. Oh well.
That’s what I did as well.
Voting with one’s wallet is often the only voice that gets heard and listened to, which is why my cancellation was accompanied by an explanation.
Fuck dude, we love Wikipedia, why does every corpo want to ruin good shit :(
Noooo!! Burn it all down
Time to fire up that Kiwix hosting that I keep forgetting to make.
Fuck Jimmy Wales.
