He does give money to politicians and the Gates Foundation does as well:
What do you have against massages? I find them relaxing.
While the goal post keeps moving, it's the opposite of your statement. As explained in the article:
That target would represent a doubling in spending for the nonprofit, which has disbursed more than $US100 billion since it was co-founded by Bill Gates and Melinda French Gates in 2000. Originally, the foundation was set to close 20 years after the Microsoft co-founder’s death.
“I have decided to give my money back to society much faster than I had originally planned,” Gates, 69, wrote in a statement. “I will give away virtually all my wealth through the Gates Foundation over the next 20 years to the cause of saving and improving lives around the world.”
How much would his estate taxes be vs giving up 99% of his fortune?
Same, I read enough about Trump in other communities. I'd like this community to focus on more uplifting stories.
You get ads even if you pay for the more expensive ad-free subscription.
At least those seem to be rare, only at the beginning, and they let you skip, but it's frustrating that you have to do that at all.
From the article:
On Tuesday morning, The Liberty Hotel said it has finished an investigation into the incident and "the security officer is being suspended from their position."

Yeah, that makes sense. I agree, I wish this was such a common thing that it wasn't even newsworthy.
But for now I'm glad that some news organizations have started categories that focus on positive news stories like this. This one in particular is part of the Guardian's "Kindness of Strangers" series. It looks like they started this series about 6 months ago.
Rather than removing entirely, it would be great if we had a community where we could just upload our top comments to, and then redirect users from Reddit to your comment on a Lemmy instance.
On Reddit users would see something like:
Using pie fed here because it's (probably?) less likely to be caught by some Reddit automod filter, I think other redditors might be attracted to it more, I've heard they abstract votes* to a different account from your actual account (slightly more privacy that way), and it's good to spread out user bases among the fediverse instances.
You could do something similar with your top posts. Just repost it to the appropriate community and then edit the post on Reddit to redirect there through pie fed.
*Edit: Pie fed only votes with anonymous accounts for you when sharing votes with an untrusted instance. So not quite as privacy oriented as I had originally thought.
