Never going to donate to them again
Used to feel bad that I never donated to Wikipedia, now I'm glad I never did
I've donated in the past. Never going to happen again.
The linux foundation is the same. They say that donations go to developers such as linus Torvalds, but then in the next paragraph they say 100% of donations go to diversity and inclusion efforts. Gnome also twice ran out of money because they spent it on diversity and inclusion efforts.
I stopped donating to Wikipedia many years ago. They not only allowed pages to have blatant lies, but when the actual person they were lying about tried to make a change it was denied. What a joke of an organization.
and they have the balls the ask for donation to keep the services up every year. That should be considered fraud.
Stopped donating many years ago when their political bias became overwhelming
This is one of many reasons I do not donate to Wikipedia. The others have to do with their blatant censorship.
People need to stop giving money to companies that hate them The begging for donations scam needs to be treated like an ad and blocked immediately
'Safety and Inclusion' What, you're a information website.
Okaaaaay, stopping my monthly donation immediately
At this point the word "foundation" is a red flag
They were just begging for money because they can't run the website, but they're spending all the money on nonsense. Shameful! I've always thought they were so poor because of how they keep repeating it, but turns out they're con artists
The upper management at Wikipedia should be in prison for fraud.
What this chart tells us is that Wikipedia gets 2x more money than they need. The fact that they are e-begging despite that is disgusting.
This is why I don't donate to them despite their incessant pestering.
Fighting racism with racism
Equity has just become a code word for corruption.
I fell for it the first time they pled for donations many moons ago. Then paid attention to how they used their money the next year and haven't donated since. This has been a trend for a long time, glad its seeing more coverage.
