Anyone is free to spend their free time as they wish and trying to help is very noble. However, there are some very mundane things people can do that would seem to have a lot more impact than many of these projects. Volunteering to delivery groceries is one.
It is like volunteering to help out a soup kitchen. Sure, they could probably use some help with their website or other technical issues, but mostly they just need people to serve food.
- scarejunba 7y agoTbh looks like you guys have chosen the third path: neither build the website nor ladle the soup but complain about which of the two things people are doing.
- scrollaway 7y agoSo do those, instead of arguing about it in a time-wasting forum. When I shop for my groceries, I make sure to ask my elderly neighbours if they need anything. However, that's something a very large amount of the population can do. So I choose to spend the spare time I have applying my overall-rare skills where they can have the most impact, such as helping improve efficiency of testing in labs and remove technical speedbumps from hospital staff. Anyone who wants to be a fucking moralist over this can quite frankly shut up, bunker up in their home and go back to wasting their quarantine watching Netflix and reading HN.
