Steer clear from donating to my GoFundMe campaign.

In a recent development, one of our dedicated readers has reached out to us, sharing their experience with crowdfunding platform GoFundMe and their efforts to support our site.

Last week, our reader created a GoFundMe account with the intention of raising funds for our website. However, they encountered an unexpected hurdle when their account was locked out. Common causes for such lockouts include security-related issues or potential policy violations.

Our reader, undeterred, has been exploring alternative methods to fund our site. They suggest contributing directly to the PayPal account associated with our email ([email protected]). For those who wish to share their thoughts on funding our site, they have kindly offered their email for your correspondence.

In addition, our reader is considering using an online newsletter for funding and is even planning to create a hard-copy edition of recent writings. They have also provided links for sharing this article across various social media platforms.

As for their GoFundMe account, our reader expresses regret at setting it up and wishes luck in regaining control. They have requested that people remove retweets of the original funding tweet, which they deleted within minutes, and kindly ask for readers to refrain from retweeting it.

The reader is also concerned about the potential future compromise of the Internet and has taken the time to apologise for any inconvenience caused. They invite readers to write to them at our [email protected] with their thoughts on funding our site.

Currently, there are three contributions to the GoFundMe account, but our reader has requested not to receive contributions at this time.

We wish our reader the best of luck in their fundraising efforts and thank our readers for their continued support. If you have any questions or concerns about GoFundMe account lockouts, we recommend reaching out to GoFundMe Support for assistance.
