It's also an explicitly philanthropic venture with a noble mission about being the source of human knowledge.
I love our memes but they aren't quite the same.
Wikipedia received almost 400k in 2005 and more than 1.5 million in donations by 2006.
For what it's worth, a lot of instances are funding just like wikipedia did but if we want to expand with full-time devs, moderators etc (which is what I think we'll need for long term sustainability) I just don't think wikipedia's success is a particularly reasonable comparison.
