Cancelling my monthly Wikipedia donation I guess.

@mhoye@cosocial.ca a link, please? (if this post is a reaction / reply to smth, i don't see the history up past it for some reason).

[mhoye@cosocial.ca]

@tivasyk It's about this: https://medium.com/@jakeorlowitz/wikipedia-is-doing-the-capitalist-thing-56a393232943

@mhoye@cosocial.ca oh fsck.

[mhoye@cosocial.ca]

@tivasyk Yeah.

I don't see where union-busting fits in here so I guess that's the end of that. https://wikimediafoundation.org/who-we-are/values

@mhoye Oh wow!

[mhoye@cosocial.ca]

@netopwibby I've been donating since I got to a point in life that I could afford to. I've even kept it up while I was unemployed. I hate this, but I don't have any other meaningful way to send even this tiny, tiny message.

[netopwibby@social.coop]

@mhoye Yeah man, it’s tough. I've donated a few times over the years. It seems virtually impossible for anything that started with great intentions to stay that way. Hella demoralizing.

Great thing is that eventually something better comes along? But like, how long will the good vibes last there? The cycle continues.

@mhoye @netopwibby Same. It's discouraging, really.

[steltenpower@social.edu.nl]

@netopwibby @mhoye How to break that cycle? Is it always money from the too rich&powerful sabotaging the good thing from some angle?

@mhoye sent the same email cancelling my monthly donation yesterday. Truly disappointing.
