Why should we Commons contributors participate in a discussion on Facebook, a corporation
that has generated great wealth for its founder by distributing advertising that includes
democracy-destroying and hate-filled propaganda? It is antithetical to the principles of
most of our participants. I’m profoundly disappointed that a discussion on Facebook would
be promoted by the office of GLAM and Structured Data, Wikimedia Foundation.
Best wishes,
Walter

I too dislike the idea of having to pay to contribute to a discussion about Wikimedia
Commons. I also see some irony in advice from a platform that being generous can be
described as having lost its way many years ago, yes we can learn from the mistakes of
others. As others have said collectively we are capable of amazing things, we are doing
something special as we look forward we mustn't lose sight what our purpose is and our
goals are.

so much of what is spoken about wont be relevant

Medium, where you can leave comments:
It's truly terrible if we're now outsourcing comments to an external
proprietary platform.
Totally agree with both of you, Federico and Fae.
I don't understand the outsourcing of comments nor the promotion from
the Wikimedia Foundation of services as Facebook.
Regards,
Iván
