Done!

I've donated to ProPublica over the years (not as much as I ought, though!) & I strongly encourage my friends on here to donate now [use Ben's link!].

ProPublica is a great pro-democracy, anti-corruption resource here in the US & it would go a long way for them to know Mastodon is an audience aligned w/their work.

In that vein, I'd be super grateful if you guys had a Mastodon share button on your articles instead of, or in addition to, buttons for Twitter & Facebook.

I’ve donated the last 2 years. Money well spent. Thank you for the valuable investigative journalism you and your colleagues do.

@steve_zeke @chargrille All my colleagues' work! I just help with the technology side.

Thank you very very much for donating!

Your modesty is admirable and, although you’re not a journalist, I imagine they couldn’t succeed at what they do without your help. Please allow yourself a pat onto the back.

Awesome! Thank you!

I saw ProPublica now has something like 115K followers on here, which is a lot for Mastodon! So I can only assume that means they have a quite large audience & a lot of support. Suspect we'd see more articles from any outlets who implement that share button!

Thank you all for your support for their invaluable work, which I have used & benefited from for more years now than I'd like to count.
