It could've been great

The IA and AO3 are doing different things lol wut. AO3 has award-winning metadata designed specifically as a nonprofit fiction and fandom archive. The Internet Archive is an attempt to archive all media as comprehensively as possible. Pitting two bad bitches against each other.

No ones called for a boycott thats why no ones unsubscribing to those services (unless osmething changed recently i didnt know about). i dont even use streaming services yar har fiddley dee.

I mean, clearly you think literally anything should take priority over donating to AO3-- you've jumped from "strike funds" to "e-beggars" (lol you mean "individuals"), to Internet Archive. You won't suggest people cancel their streaming or give up their movie tickets and donate those. Just the free fandom archive you have a personal distaste for.

yall are very obsssesed with the funny fanfic web site i wosh that energy was aimed toward like uuuuh

#id love to receive like half the money ao3 gets lol

Just to weigh in on the comment about “proper security :( :( :(“ above, we’ve seen multiple large corporate websites with much larger budgets than AO3 get DDOS’d offline in the past couple of years. The ability to withstand a DDOS attack has a lot less to do with computer security (as in the preventing intrusion/hacker voice “I’m in”) and a lot more with paying Cloudflare or having a large enough (tech giant sized) network to support it.

/stares in “100+ fics on AO3”

oh i know my arts bad, but thats irrelevant cus a lot of shit on ao3 is pretty bad too, yall aint shakespear now. if yall were you wouldnt be writing 100+ fics on ao3.

hey i might type like shit but at least i can have friends and normal interactions w/o the fact that i support a zionist website that hosts pedo content living rent free in my head n pockets

Nah, you just sound like a conservative, throwing pedo libel and whatever else you think sounds bad and immoral at strangers. Thankfully, I have friends and normal interactions in the fan community that supports queer art even when randos whine about it.

quite a lot, thanks for asking :)

"people being affected by the elections" lol you know I meant the AO3 elections , because I want to vote on the nonprofit board, and not a national election, right

is it really me being dumb to mistake ao3 elections for the real ones cus like i don't soend my entire life and time and money on fanfic, especially a fanfic site?

that is a mad conservative thing to say my guy.

At this point, your failure to understand the concept that "people are donating to a service they use, for use in the continuation of the service" is obvious bad faith. No person is being given 880k, a bunch of people are giving 10 bucks to a nonprofit running a service that they use. Like when I also donate to Wikipedia or Internet Archive except you have a bizarre bone to pick.

it iis good to donate to IA, you made a big stink about the fact i said you ought to put more effort into stuff like IA and wikipedia. and with 880k overnight for fanfiction of all things the goalpost keeps moving cus omg 880k overnight dude thats almost a million dollar wish all that effort went to IA and Wikipedia your wittle $10 you split into $5 for each site, but $700-2000 for fanfic is showing absolutely abysmal priorities

a fascinatingly bad faith take to see me say "I donated as much to Wikipedia and IA" and assume that's "combined" and not "equally as much to each" lol

Also SU took the biggest L when Yellow Diamond went from a threat to "I'm just so sad because I missed Pink. I'll do anything for Pink now that she's back". She was so much more fun when her anger defined her. A character that would dig her heels in and refuse to budge because she's doing what's right for her empire. Someone who won't hear anything else.

stream to donate

I found these steps online in regards to efficiently streaming these videos *not mine*

Obsidian irl is super fragile. Like it's literally natural glass..
