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.

    I don’t understand why everyone freaks out that wikipedia tries to keep a reserve. Yes, they have enough money on hand to run for a few years… Is that really such a bad thing? Why does everyone think nonprofits should be scrimping by before they do their next donation campaign?

    To me, keeping a reserve fund just seems like good money management, and I’d rather donate to an organization that manages their money well than one that doesn’t. If there were problems with a large chunk of donations not going to wikipedia upkeep it would be different, but as far as I can tell all of the controversy is just over the fact that they have a reserve at all
