Don't donate to Wikipedia, the Wikimedia foundation has apparently started some years back redirecting funds to various DEI/"woke" grifting projects or entities. Their begging methods have also gotten pretty aggressive.
I've been noticing how a surprising number of non-bitcoin related projects accept #bitcoin donations. FreeBSD does, as does RetroPie (a custom OS for playing retro games on a Raspberry Pi). And they're often BTC only, no shitcoins. Actually pretty encouraging to see adoption by non-cypherpunk types.
It's a shame that Wikipedia stopped accepting it. I've donated to them in the past so I still get nag emails from them - I reply to them every time along the lines of "accept bitcoin and I'll gladly send you some sats every month". I did actually get a reply last time and they pointed out that it was a vote of community members that basically told the Foundation to stop accepting "crypto" donations (71% of votes!). If you view the discussion (https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment/Stop_accepting_cryptocurrency_donations) pretty much all the arguments were environmental. We really need to get on top of the mining energy use narrative.
