Personally, I want nothing to do with them and I’m not willing to give them the benefit of the doubt. I moved to the Fediverse to get away from all these corpos.

    The biggest problem is the fact they beg for donations and the wording makes it seem like they are about to shut down unless you donate right now. They are disingenuous.

    No one said having reserve funds is bad. Just don’t act like you’re about to shut down Wikipedia to get more money when you literally have millions in reserve. It’s scummy.

      imagine if wikipedia actually shut down. I dont fault them any precaution as long as it doesnt cause actual harm. Though if they just keep doing that even though they have money for tens of years in reserve then that starts getting a bit suspicious.
