This may come off as schmaltzy or whatever, but I'll say it anyway.

I've been here for a little over 2 years, mostly lurking, and I've been enjoying the site, the community and content much more than my time on reddit and twitter. More importantly, Raddle is a free service and I'm very glad I'm not paying with my data or my attention. In my opinion, Raddle is one of the more important 'internet projects' for anarchists in recent history. For a while now I felt the need to give back and show some support.

About a year ago I bookmarked donation links, hoping that I would be in a more financially stable situation before 2020. Life is moving on, circumstances have changed a little, but I'm still very much in no position to send some money.

Since good intentions in silence aren't doing anything, I figured that in the meantime I can at least let you know that I very much appreciate Raddle and the effort y'all put into it. Especially because I know from experience that people tend to take the good things for granted, but are quick to complain when they find something they don't like.

Shoutouts and special thank you's...

  • to ziq for starting this and taking care of the site, but also for writing some of the most useful and linkworthy essays on anarchy. For many of my 'beliefs' you gave me the vocabulary to express myself much clearer. Maybe you can tell I'm not super great with words, so this is of great value to me.

  • to Emma for doing code and admin stuff, much appreciate the updates and new features. I don't know much about it, but I imagine it takes more time and effort than people generally acknowledge.

  • to Tequila_Wolf for the warm welcome and the community building efforts.

  • to moderators and everyone else that totally deserves a mention but my ignorant ass doesn't know much about.

sorry for bat english and good night
