This really rubs me the wrong way.
I'm donating to a charity through givebutter.com, and after I indicated that I wanted to make a one-time $180 donation, it popped up this prompt.
This boils down to, "If you agree to donate twice as much money as you said you wanted to, it'll have twice the impact!" which is tautological, but presented in a way which IMO is a dark pattern.
This is gross.

Also, the amount of effort required on #GiveButter to just give them the amount of money you said you wanted to give them is offensive.
After clicking the "Keep my $180 one-time gift" button, it opened another pop-up which asked me if I wanted to give a "tip" to GiveButter and if I wanted to cover the processing costs of my donation. Both of these were checked by default! It took multiple not-entirely-obvious steps to undo them both.
Terrible user experience, would not recommend GiveButter.

P.S. You may have noticed that I'm not saying which organization I was donating to when I encountered this. It's a worthy org and in other contexts I would encourage people to join me in supporting them, but I'm not going to do that because of the negative experience donating through GiveButter. By treating donors poorly they're driving away donors.

P.P.S. When I made this donation this morning through #GiveButter, there was a checkbox on the form to indicate whether I wanted the target org to be able to contact me. I unchecked that checkbox. Nevertheless, I received an email from the org two hours later, at the email address I had given to GiveButter, which I'd never given to anyone else.
So in addition to my other complaints about GiveButter, I'm also pissed that they give organizations people's email addresses even when asked not to. 😡

They’re also just straight up lying. They’re not promoting giving “less”, but giving “slower”.

That’s not how less works.



Als ik in de buurt woonde en meer energie had, wist ik het wel: 18 mei een rode lijn trekken in Den Haag om Gaza en de Palestijnen te steunen.

“Stop de politieke, economische en militaire steun aan Israël zolang het de toegang tot hulpgoederen blokkeert en zich schuldig maakt aan oorlogsmisdaden en structurele mensenrechtenschendingen in Gaza en de Bezette Palestijnse gebieden.”

📢 🚨 Nederlandse overheid: investeer nu in democratische tech!

Samen met @waag, @bitsoffreedom, @commonsnetwork en SETUP roepen we vandaag de overheid op om nú te investeren in democratische tech, een alternatief digitaal ecosysteem en een Nederlands Soeverein Tech Fonds.

De ambities van ons kabinet zijn te karig. Nederland raakt haar plaats in de voorhoede kwijt.

Daarom roepen wij op: Investeer in een soeverein en weerbaar digitaal ecosysteem.
