    I have done so on occasion.

    I get quite a lot of good out of Wikipedia.

    According to the wikimedia foundation the costs for hosting the service are covered for the next decades. Most of their money goes to lobbying and other political efforts.

    So no. I like their website and am happy to help keep that funded but for now they don’t need help doing that

      I would like to add that the Internet Archive otoh is on treacherous water and could use some of the dono.

      Not just political efforts - for example they fund their outreach programs and workshops for disadvantaged people to get their specialized knowledge onto Wikipedia.

      But yeah, hosting is already funded therefore I dont currently feel the need to donate to Wikimedia.

    I think like Archive.org deserve a bit more attention as I feel Wikipedia is doing good enough.

    When they plaster that “If everyone reading this donated $x.yz right now, we’d be done within the hour” message I’ll usually donate exactly the amount it says.

        Is there any equivalent in non-Western countries?

        Which is actually where donating to them can help. They fund editathons, outreach efforts, events, and conferences, some of which explicitly focus on getting information into Wikipedia from underrepresented areas or people.

        Smells like an opportunity to me!

        If you go all in and work really hard, I bet you could make 10 of dollars. Maybe even 20 over time.

    Every so often, yeah. Usually $10-$20CAD or so.

    I have in the past. I don’t donate that much or that often as they are well funded and would like to help other projects as well. I don’t make good money, so I often don’t give more than a few dollars, but will try and do so recurring.

    I donate monthly to Wikipedia, Signal, and Octoprint.
    Probably cheaper than Netflix too nowadays.

      I give to wiki, but recently convinced my wife we don’t need Netflix. Feels great tbh

      Hey! Fuck yeah, Octoprint! I’m a Patreon supporter and love the development. That shit about plugin manipulation was the catalyst to my contribution and highly recommend that platform for all new 3D printing enthusiasts!

        Just got my 9 year sticker in the mail too.
        I don’t even use it as much these days, but it helped me a lot when I was starting out, and I still use it for the webcam.

    Not regularly, but once or twice. I think a lot more people should donate to the internet archive though.

    I would, if I got money. Even if most money goes to lobbying, as another user said.

    I used to until they started getting naggy over email and started guilt trippy on their donation messages.
