Is there any way for me donate to those hosting lemmygrad? I want to show my thanks for hosting such a nice community
edit: spelling. Word added
I think giving money to ProleWiki is a better option since I think Lemmygrad is doing okay and ProleWiki is not like it’s going to disappear but needs the money better, I think.
Money wise, we are very safe, currently holding R$ 4020.71, enough to keep us running for almost 4 and a half years at current rates and prices. We keep receiving generous small but consistent donations including from editors (thanks comrade @[email protected]!), and we currently have no use for this money, but we appreciate any donation nonetheless.
We would appreciate donations even more if donators engaged with us, gave us suggestions on how to use the money, or became members of ProleWiki in general, but it never happens unfortunately. We are more in need of people than money currently 😄
This only shows how much Wikipedia Foundation is just enriching a few select individuals, because if they only cared about demand like we do, they wouldn’t make a donation campaign every year. It’s just a large money funnel, because they have no need for so much donation campaigns
Though imagine the potential it has, to pay editors for their consistent work if we reach a very consistent flow of donations and comfortable range of money, democratically electing the 5 best editors and paying them proportionally based on socially perceived excellence. Here’s hoping @[email protected] and I get chosen. Most of our work is behind the scenes so no one would know how much time we spend discussing and promoting our project elsewhere lol. But obviously this is a very remote dream, and it’s fun to dream, as long as we recognize that we’re not even close to such conditions, but that could be a possibility.
