Streisand effect: Difference between revisions - Wikipedia

@wikipedia
i think this toot contains subliminal messages !
@wikipedia Donated. Happy Halloween, Elmo Muks!
@wikipedia #SpaceKaren has done more for Wikipedia fundraising over the last few days than any previous donation drive, I suspect.
@wikipedia Outstanding toot. Thank you for a most enjoyable Christmas present.

@wikipedia

Barbara Streisand wollte ihre Privatsphäre schützen. Das ist katastrophal gescheitert. Und Wikipedia tritt noch mit einem riesenvorschaufoto im link-preview nach.

@energisch_

@wikipedia someone needs to update the 'Examples' section to include Musk's latest instruction to his 200m sycophants, suckups, and automated accounts, which has backfired in the most glorious of ways.
@wikipedia I immediately recognized that photo before reading the title. 😄
@wikipedia indeed. I never donated to wikipedia, but now I did.
Also filled in the survey.
@wikipedia donated too. #SpaceKaren do the best Fundraising campaign ever.
@wikipedia What a community you have!

@wikipedia Like the Kate Bush effect?

From 2014: Grief cliff: Massive landslip leaves Kate Bush's 17-acre home on Devon coast at risk of crumbling into the sea

"Kate Bush thought that she had found the perfect hideaway when she bought a secluded cliff-top home to protect her from obsessive fans.

"But now the notoriously publicity-shy singer, who embarked on a long-awaited comeback tour last week, is facing the prospect of watching her house crumble into the sea.

"The property, set in 17 acres, rests on a cliff edge in Devon. It has been at risk since last year when a ‘significant landslip’ caused a large section of adjoining coastline to fall away."

@wikipedia The set of photos made by Ken and Gab have been extremely useful to many people. For example, a hotel near Half Moon bay was found to have built an illegal jetty.
@wikipedia Así que he cambiado a mensual. Antes hacía donaciones esporádicas casi siempre que pedían ayuda pero mejor así. Siempre me gustaron mucho las novelas de ciencia-ficción donde el último vestigio de una civilización olvidada era su enciclopedia universal. Ahora que realmente existe sería una vergüenza no cuidarla y protegerla.
@wikipedia Ha! Truly the best site on the Internet. Donated in November. Thinking of doing it again.

@wikipedia I have donated a lot of work over the years, but now I have also become a monthly financial donor.

Now please boost #Mastodon on Twitter and other platforms! The sooner we get rid of Twitter, the better for all of us.

@wikipedia Barbara said in an NPR interview before the Nov 2024 election that she'd move if Trump was elected again. She still owns that house with all her curated tchotchkes in the basement. Is she going to rent it out until he's out of office or dead or schlept the kit and caboodle to Europe.
