Ask HN: What projects do you donate to?

Hacker News - Fri, 05/23/2025 - 5:33am

With the Internet rapidly undergoing its corpocene mass extinction event, the few initiatives trying to keep the web and the software ecosphere habitable depends mostly on individual contributions.

Traditionally, advertising your charitable contributions might be seen as distasteful virtue signalling for which one has already earned their reward. However, I think in the cultural context of digital initiatives, it’s actually helpful and quite important to show off what you have been donating to, it is a much stronger signal to draw people’s attention to important projects by word of mouth.

Thus, this thread is intended to be a celebration of your personal contributions to initiatives towards digital freedom.

Think of it as an “MyAnimeList for donations”, or a “Goodreads for open projects”, list out which projects you personally have your sights on you think are important that other people also hear about.

Examples:

- the Blender project: a lifeline to rescue creative professionals from the clutches of artistic bear-bile farms

- neocities: promoting a return to wholesome hand-reared digital gardens

- Internet Archive and Wikipedia foundation: for keeping library of Alexandria of collective human memories and knowledge

- codeberg: provides a safe haven for open source development from being confined to a life inside factory farms.
