Re: ACLU donation reports I’m hearing. Holy shit people - over 2 million dollars raised in a *day*. So many people tried to donate that the servers actually went down for a few minutes.
Please note, I used to work at the company that did the donation code for the ACLU, they’re still using the same software. (And I’m damn proud of the work I did there, yes.) Those are *beefy* servers. Holy shit, y’all. You make me proud.
Keep donating. Sign up to the monthly subscriber if you can - ten bucks a month does a lot of good work.
Shoutout to sturdy code and scalable servers
This is the kind of thing I’ll reblog, along with a handy link! And a note that monthly contributions that you can be sure you can give for a few years - even if it’s just a few bucks - is actually more helpful to organizations because it allows them to rely on a certain amount coming in for their budgets. And if the org has a monthly minimum that you can’t swing, like $5 or $10, then you can absolutely make it a biannual or quarterly donation or something like that.
