Wikimedia is raking in millions from donations. That money could easily also finance a social media site.

Wikipedia is also actively used by practically anyone that has a connection to the internet, too. Something like Lemmy has way higher costs per user (both financial and computational), and a significantly smaller user base.

What are they doing with all the money and why do they keep asking for more of it? Why don't they take some of that money to support the rest of the staff that has asked for help?

Don't ask me... there are a lot of people asking Wikimedia the same thing. See the link below that I posted.
