Chess Grandmaster Anna Muzychuk refuses to play in Saudi Arabia and says: "In a few days, I will lose two world titles, back to back." Because I decided not to go to Saudi Arabia. I refuse to play by special rules, to wear abaya, to be accompanied by a man so I can leave the hotel, so I don't feel like a second class person.

Me, an idiot: “So, kids, by setting the thermostat a little lower and eating less meat, we’re doing our part to make the world more sustainable”
VCs, very smart: “We just raised $100 billion dollars from the sovereign wealth funds of three petrostates to build the world’s largest AI supercomputer. It uses as much power and water as Guatemala and the primary use case is for management consultants to autogenerate powerpoints for justifying mass layoffs.”
At the very least save a god damn mp4 file to a local drive.
Right now you can't do trial by jury, something mentioned in the constitution, if one private company is having a bad day.
That's a problem.
And what, do you have all your courtrooms pay for a premium account, just so you don't have ads for pewdiepie before your courthouse video?
You know what that monthly fee could have gone to?

Wikimedia has been making posts like this for the better part of 15 years. I remember attending Wiki editing parties for queers and trans people all the way back in 2010 or 2011. In 2014, I was even in a culture and technology undergrad class where the professor invited a Wikipédia editor on international women's day to coach the class and encourage women to make notable edits about women's rights and labour.
Over the years, none of my additions or changes to Wikipédia have survived. Usually because of notability issues, because women and queers have to reach stratospheric levels before they deserve even the smallest mentions on the public Wiki.
(Tangentially, I also ended up doing some small edits to some historical profiles, based on family documents (mostly correcting places of birth for a handful of ancestors) and almost all of those got reversed as well, with the erroneous information restored.)
Well over a decade later, I see posts like this and shrug. https://wikimedia.social/@wikimediafoundation/112122065590727479
