      People that want there to be a platform they can enjoy using. There doesn’t have to be a monetary gain for your life to be enriched by an investment you make. I mean, people make donations to wikipedia, how is that any different?

        I’ve given money to both Wikipedia & Lichess on multiple occasions.

        Gotta support these types of things. They are the shining gems of what is possible online.
