I am immediately discontinuing my donations to @wikimediafoundation until they cease retaliation against workers and fully recognise the #union chosen by those workers.
https://www.wikiworkersunited.org/
Workers are the *sole reason* the Wikimedia Foundation has any place in the world, and you will recognise their self determination.

I'm on a roll of getting #LT3 out on an actual Thursday 👍
This week we look at why the Wikipedia Foundation's latest actions are making people nervous.
Also:
- Labour's move to ban social media for under 16s in the UK,
- Meta looking to charge you for using certain WhatsApp, Facebook, and Instagram features,
- and of course we check in on Pope Leo.https://buttondown.com/willrc/archive/lets-talk-tech-thursday-31/

union busting at the wikimedia foundation
consider sending them an angry email (especially if you're a donor)

Wikipedia fired their lead dev of 20+ years and disbanded the team serving volunteer editors. Most were union organizers. The Foundation has $296M in reserves and fresh AI money from Microsoft, Meta & Amazon.
It's not just Wikipedia. Same pattern, different victims.https://blog.ppb1701.com/the-ai-gold-rush-is-eating-its-own

Unionization at Wikimedia: Community protest after layoffs
Employees of the Wikimedia Foundation are currently forming a union. Following layoffs, volunteer authors are now offering to participate in strikes.

Yeesh. I tried to do an article merge on the Spanish #Wikipedia because it somehow ended up with duplicate articles on the same subject.
Obviously this is pretty hard to do because I barely understand #Spanish and I did the mistake of turning one page into a redirect which is apparently a no-no judging by the automatic bot revert I got.
Would appreciate any feedback from Spanish Wikipedians. 🙏
Target article: https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islas_Tres_Reyes

I'm fuming reading this article about how the #WikimediaFoundation just fired Brooke Vibber and the entire Community Tech team. It sure looks an awful lot like illegal #UnionBusting. 😡

If you are a #Wikipedia editor, please join me in showing your solidarity with #WikiWorkersUnited by signing the petition:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wiki_Workers_United_solidarityIf you are not, you can still help. Please share widely about this. The article above suggests emailing the WMF board. Don't donate to WMF until this is resolved, they have a war chest already. I want us to embarrass WMF until they cave and reverse course. I want them to offer these workers their jobs back, stop union busting, and put it in their damn charter they won't try this crap again. I want them to realize without their community, they are nothing. We can strike. We can fork all of #Wikimedia if it comes to it. ✊

I began donating to #Wikipedia through #Wikimedia Foundation after threats against it from fascist shitbags in the USA, several years ago.
I just sent them a request to cancel my donation because I don't approve of their #unionbusting tactics.
I invite others to do the same and let their displeasure be known.

They got a bunch of money from AI slop companies and then hired a Hillary Clinton wannabe to run things.
I don't know what they expected to happen honestly, you don't hire a natsec hawk to run a non-profit and sing kumbaya.

Was zum... ? @wikimediafoundation löst das TechTeam auf, das an Community-Software-Wünschen gearbeitet hat. Und deren Mitarbeiter werden entlassen. Einige davon waren gerade dabei, eine Gewerkschaft zu gründen. Was mit den Entlassungen angeblich nichts zu tun hat...
Weder die Auflösung des Teams noch der Anschein von Entlassungen im Zusammenhang mit einer Gewerkschaftsgründung hinterlassen einen guten Eindruck, was den weiteren Weg der #Wikimedia und deren Projekten angeht.
Projekt-Aktive können ihre Unterstützung für die Gewerkschaft unter https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wiki_Workers_United#Solidarity kundtun.
