Users cannot assume that any post has been vetted and must do their own investigation.

Some basic posting restrictions are in place to filter out the most egregious attempts to scam the community, without adding an insurmountable barrier to aid. Please read the comm rules below carefully before posting.

RULES:

All mutual aid requests must go in this community.
Accounts must be at least 3 months old to post mutual aid requests. Exceptions can be made with comm moderator or admin approval.
Accounts requesting aid must have some prior posting history on the site outside the mutual aid comm. Exceptions can be made with comm moderator or admin approval.
Mods do not vet individual mutual aid requests. Donate at your own risk.
Do not request donations for funding anything explicitly illegal.
Comments giving unsolicited advice will be removed. (See below)
Comments or posts that are critical of any mutual aid post or user will be removed. (See below)
Posts containing opsec leaks will be removed.

Additionally:

If you are open to non-monetary aid please indicate so in your post
If you wish to provide unsolicited advice/resources, then please make a separate post in this community
Other types of non-specific meta posts about other users may be made in the !feedback@hexbear.net community
If you have concrete evidence of something even remotely suspicious, do not hesitate to bring it to the attention of a moderator for review via direct message
We strongly advise you ask people to send you a direct message to obtain information regarding payment to prevent inadvertent opsec leaks.
Please consider posting once a day and editing the title of a mutual aid post to include [Covered] or [Need Met] when a request has been satisfied or goal met.
Consider not making comments about receiving large donations, or about what that money is spent on.

Moderator Pinning Rules:

Moderators are strictly prohibited from promoting/endorsing/pinning individual mutual aid requests (especially those of their own) as this creates unfair post visibility and could therefore benefit more from that than the standard user. Moderators caught engaging in this behavior will be swiftly removed from the moderator board with extreme prejudice.
Moderators are allowed to pin and crosspost donation requests for large scope issues such as natural disaster relief funds and bail funds ((Example)[https://hexbear.net/post/16574) along with other crowd or moderator-compiled informational resources pertaining to donating or volunteering (Example), so long as the utmost due diligence is done prior to endorsement, especially in the case of directing people to donate to non-profit organizations.
Financial documents of non-profit organizations available to the public must be heavily scrutinized before moderator endorsement, and links to those must also be included in the endorsement post to help the community make their own decision if they should donate.

[$0/$15] Help me snag an Xfinity WiFi Pass (hexbear.net)

5 comments fedilink hide all child comments

Or, to be exact, help me snag a digital Visa gift card, so that I can snag an Xfinity WiFi hotspot, because the only way I can accept funding right now is thru PayPal, and I don't have the debit card, so I have to do all this stupid shit.

Why I need a WiFi pass. Not an exhaustive list:

So I don't get lost and waste gas when I'm driving.
So "looking up directions" doesn't have to mean driving 10-20 blocks to the nearest spot with free/open WiFi.
So I can practice coding and pursue my other nerdy pursuits from anywhere; no more getting pissed off at my friends because they made me stay at some dumb spot with no WiFi.
So if I need to contact someone in a time sensitive manner I can just...contact them, instead of having to go to a coffee shop or something dumb like that.

You can also just like, buy the wifi pass for me. Let me know and I can give you an email and phone number to enter for the login credentials.
