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:

    Tearing down Wikipedia is in direct alignment with Fascists’s stated goals, I’m not equating anything.

    If you are against Wikipedia you’re with Trump and Elon.

    Make good choices

      Oh yeah, the guy who fights for fair wages, universal basic income, free healthcare and equal rights for everyone criticizes that your favorite „non-profit“ organization looks more and more like a for-profit corporation every year and comes begging while wearing a gold watch. He must be a fascist.

      No one in this comment section is against Wikipedia. You’re making that shit up. We’re saying they don’t need your money, they can trim the fat off the top. They’re also one of the most well funded orgs in the world. It doesn’t take that much to host wikipedia.

          You misunderstand my wording but I’ll refrain from correcting you seeing as you have no intentions of having this discussion. Good day :-)
