"The Wikimedia Foundation wishes to thank Elon Musk for our sudden large rush of donations..."
I donate each time anyways, will double it this time. May Elon choke on an orange hog this Christmas.
You mean the orange man's hog? I think it's more the other way around.
Never donated before today. Thanks elon I guess 👍
Me neither but just did.
Yeah it's been a while since I last donated and there is some light controversy around how Wikipedia goes about asking for money but I still believe in their mission.
So fuck you Musk, have a twenty Wikipedia.

I’ve never donated to Wikipedia. I have now donated to Wikipedia.
This man did more for Wikipedia than those annoying Wikipedia messages could ever do
Because any information at all is woke.
This is the idiocracy way.
I am a monthly donor to Wikipedia, because I think it's an incredibly important resource. Elon Musk can fuck all the way off.

Time to donate
I had been clicking past the donate reminder so far this year. Thanks for the reminder to get it done today before the new year.
Wikipedia is arguably the best website on all of the internet.
Like, if you wanted one website to survive the apocalypse or whatever, it's probably Wikipedia.
Runs platform based on lies and hates platform based on truth. Check notes yeah that about sums it up.

Well, I wasn't sure about donating this year, this sealed the deal for me. What an asshole.
Wikipedia also has some neat merch, for those who want to support the project and also get some cool gear
Been a while since I donated. Thanks for the reminder, Elon.
He looks like he starts all his announcements with an unironic "fellow humans".
Seriously, is he some kind of meat puppet controlled by incel aliens?
Oh, great reminder, I didn't donate in a few months, gonna send them a lil Santa coffee gift right now.
For those of you with workplace donation platforms, Wikipedia/wikimedia are usually registered and eligible for company match, so is the web archive.
I am beginning to think Satan will turn out less evil than this monster.
$10 donation coming in hot!
Thanks for the reminder. Just donated!
I usually donate a low amount, but I'm going to drop a $50 this year now. We know this asshat's threats are random, but we can't risk it.
So, how many GB to save a complete copy of Wikipedia?
It’s a 19GB download that expands to 86GB for only the current article versions in English
There's a zim for kiwix(an offline client for wiki sites) that's around 100GB with photos.
Latest is updated to January 2024.

Fight Mythomaniacs:

I'm in with 50.
I had an uncle who was a rabid Trump supporter. Ultranationalist, White Supremacist and Bible thumper. (its even weirder that my uncle is a Canadian living in the US who refuses to get US citizenship).
he moved to Texas because he wanted to get away from the "morally bankrupt liberals" in California, moved to Texas because Elon went there. I think the only person he loved more than Trump was Elon.
then suddenley, one day he told the family that he wasn't following Elon anymore, and that Elon is evil. I'd really like to hear what he has to say about it. Except there is zero contact because the guy is so deranged he made death threats against my mother. So we're keeping him at length and not giving him any sense of welcome that he can come back into our lives, or worse yet, come visit physically.
still, would be interesting to see into the mind of a lunatic.
Donated.
I dunno, doesn't seem like the conservapedia shithole likes elon much either.
Xelon is nothing but a drug addict, and he's fuckin' nutzzz!
I'm going to donate even harder now
God what a fucking moron
Just donated
You know what? I'm upping my monthly donation.
I told myself during my undergrad that if I ever made enough money, I would support a handful of causes. Wiki is on top of that list. I donate $20 monthly so don't feel bad if you aren't able to yet. It takes a village. One day when I'm on a fixed income, someone else can make that lavish $20/month donation :-)
Honestly thought, I need to reevaluate if I can give more. Thanks for reminding me Apartheid Musk!
