    You think they’ll willingly contribute to the enrichment of Steve “Pigboy” Huffman? 🤣

        It literally cannot, because nobody owns it. Which is why there’s some confusion in this thread.

        You’ve basically entered a public beach asking for the manager. Everybody’s looking around a bit confused. That guy over there has been here all day, so maybe he would do? Or maybe that guy over there who has a beach blanket with a bunch of friends on it? That kid over there built a nice sandcastle, maybe he’s the one you’d like to talk to.

        It’s not like the private beach over at Reddit. There’s not one clear person in charge, and not one person can shut it down or change the rules for everyone else.

        We have some people occasionally trying to poison the water, but we’re getting better at expelling them before they manage to do too much damage.

          I understand but be it one person or a group just wanted to give my thanks and praise them. But someone somewhere had to come up with the fedivere or lemmyworld. It did not automaticcaly pop up out of know where. And something tells me there is an itch that the creator can’t scratch until he or she knows how much their work affected peoples lives in a good way.

            It really did not pop out of nowhere, this comment here outlines it pretty well. Basically, there are the ones who came up with the protocol, the ones who came up with Lemmy (I think this is what you want) and the ones who started lemmy.world

              (and some of us don’t even use Lemmy - I’m on mbin and piefed)
