0) Stop with the personal attacks. It's rather unbecoming, and I don't appreciate it.
1) Being genuinely confused about what the big deal isn't the same thing as caring. It's asking for confirmation of a conclusion.
2) If you're in a situation where you're unhappy, then you have a responsibility to make yourself happy. Staying around in a crappy situation and whining about doesn't help, and neither does insulting people.
3) Wikimedia is in San Francisco. If I had to take a guess, I would say there was a literally a hundred other tech organizations in that city alone, including nonprofit organizations with a societal purpose. 18F comes to mind. Again, See 2.
- chris_wot 11y ago0) you don't seem to realise how you come across 1) you literally wrote "I don't really care". 2) they aren't whining. Saying so is pretty much a personal attack. It's certainly insulting. I don't appreciate it, and I'd say neither do they. Funny how that works both ways. But interestingly enough, as has been pointed out already - people ARE leaving in droves. I'm no longer involved in Wikipedia, but I can still be unhappy with the direction they are taking. 3) if you think that just leaving a non-profit you have emotionally invested in is an easy decision, then you really haven't thought things through. If you think it's elementary to just step out of one job and into another, that's also thoughtless.
