It’s a myth, no cisgender women, only transgender women and femboys, but yea they’re the goats
Depends on the subject
That’s the best one right there
Seems to be worse ecologically
You often get age verification if your account got blocked because someone reported you to be underage
Thanks for asking! The subject has been coming up for quite some time. I might edit this comment with more sources later on, because I’ve learned about this a few years ago and don’t keep a full list of my sources on me.
I have a few reasons for this:
- The Wikimedia Foundation (the entity that receives your donations) only uses a really small fraction of your donations for the Wikipedia and Wikimedia projects. The rest goes into various non-essential spendings. [1]
- They're not efficient about spendings. Each year they receive more, and each year they spend more, way more than they should compared to Wikipedia's growth.
- The WMF doesn’t really do much on Wikipedia. All the writing and nearly all the moderation is done by volunteers.
- They block anonymous proxies, VPNs, Tor exit nodes from editing, even if you create an account. No exceptions for regular people.

Can’t give away free ink, but can’t compete either. That was my point.
Can’t sell spare parts for a good price
It’s about their rules and Ada, the admin. If you disagree with her, you’ll get banned and called transphobic, even if you never acted as such.
The "safe-place" turns into an unsafe place for everyone who doesn’t agree with the opinion of the leader. I hate not having freedom.
Free as in beer?
Free as in freedom, where everyone is welcome to access, contribute.
so the idea that anything stated there could possibly belong to someone doesn't exactly make sense. You can own the rights to a process, or a song, or own the right to produce something, but the composition of an object, the technology driving an innovation, or the background of music theory are facts, and statements around them are part of public discourse
This is false. While facts are facts and no one owns them (except for patents), it’s the formulation that you own. Plagiarism is about this. I didn’t want to focus on the legal aspect anyways, the license behind contributions is well known and I have no issues with it.
Your entire comment is not on the subject that I was talking about. I’m saying that the Wikimedia Foundation profits from volunteer work while they do very little, and I don’t believe that’s fair. I would much rather donate to contributors than to the foundation.
You should also know that non profits are really often abused and a way to pay less taxes. Many of them act like for profits.
Most of it is habits
You’re used to windows so it doesn’t seem like that to you
If you do simple normie stuff, it’s super easy. For more advanced users, yea it’ll require some knowledge
ReVanced is just the way to go for me. Good UI is a requirement, and sponsorblock and return YT dislike integration is a must have
