Just to put it in perspective: Even if every dime given of the $150m raised by the Wikimedia Foundation this year were wasted, something am sure is not the case, the amount of money set on fire by WeWork is more than 100x larger.
You can buy 1/293rd of Twitter with that $150M!
Wework never begged me for money though.
Wikipedia only asks for money from its users. I promise that if you had used WeWork, they would also have asked you for money eventually. They're bad at business, but not that bad.
In addition to being the most useful website ever made.
Agreed. The librarians of Alexandria would be bereft in a tempest of envious tears.
edit: Upon review it may not be clear that I am being 100% genuine. Wikipedia is one of humanity's greatest creations. I donate, and will continue to do so.
It's only on this site, ironically a forum run by a venture capitalist firm, that I've seen so much anti sentiment about Wikipedia's funding.
All you need is a domain and a server to host your own Mastodon instance.
Some of the largest Mastodon instances are run on $100/month class servers (ex: mastodon.world).
Its actually ridiculously cheap.
you don't even need to use the Mastodon software to be a participant in the wider Mastodon ecosystem. A WordPress site with a plugin can be part of the Fediverse.
