I'll donate if it does not go through the fascist GoFundMe .

@glidedon You’re welcome to donate to ARI directly: https://ari.aynrand.org/donate/

And if you want me to switch platforms you’ll have to suggest an alternative and give me more context than the overused epithet “fascist.”

@mjgardner see Canadian Truckers saga.

Givesendgo , Liberapy I’ll send directly.

@glidedon #Facebook and #GoFundMe are the only two services I’ve found that enable an individual like me, unaffiliated with a #charity, to raise funds for that charity while letting the service transfer the #donations directly to the charity without my involvement.

#GiveSendGo and #Liberapay don't work like that. They're for direct donations.

If you'd prefer to #donate to my Facebook #fundraiser for The #AynRand Institute, here's the link: https://www.facebook.com/donate/998586164701307/

@mjgardner

I donated directly, did you see what Gofundme did to the donations to Canadian truckers ?

Doing business with these people for convenience is questionable.

@glidedon I used them because some people say the same thing about #Facebook.

I can’t support everyone’s pet boycott. You’re welcome to make your own choices.

Thank you for donating!
