    I’m just going to take the opportunity to talk about that Wikipedia is free, it doesn’t have advertisement, all the data is freely accesible and your privacy is respected, is just maintained by donations and the community. Just looking around other platforms I think they do an amazing job, so consider to donate today to keep it that way.

      they have more than enough money to keep the server running for decades. not to say you don’t need to donate, but you don’t need to impulse donate every time the big header appears.

        To be fully transparent I donate 1 dollar a day, I just appreciate what they do, and I would like to have more services that are able to keep it that way, sadly that is not the case.

        I donate about 100 USD a year, give or take. I figured it’s worth it for as much as I use Wikipedia

      Going down a Wikipedia rabbit hole is worse than going down a Street View rabbit hole. Ahh I can spend an entire day doing it!

    I hope custom algorithms become an option. I like chronological feeds but would love to have chronological feeds that show me a post based on my likes after 3 posts or so. It would make it much easier to discover new blender artists like is possible on twitter

    that’s excellent! I wonder if they’ll keep their WT Social network going. Does anyone use it?
