Why is a piece of russian trash on this list? Like the dude really participated in "elections" legitimatizing putin's regime and even said to his followers that they should too make a vote. Fuck him

@dansup @evan @cwebber @thisismissem @Claire @lanodan @trwnh @grishka @smallcircles @deadsuperhero I guess it depends on if you are doing anything important. If you’re just facilitating people like myself posting our random shit to the internet, while we appreciate it, let’s face it - you could stop tomorrow and it would make no difference.

@BoscoZebra @dansup @evan @cwebber @thisismissem @Claire @lanodan @trwnh @grishka @smallcircles @deadsuperhero That's an incredibly poor way of looking at it. Bad social media is responsible for Trump's election, the rise of the alt-right, etc. Social media has insane amounts of impact on the world, and these folks are doing it to make the world better instead of make profit at any cost.

@BoscoZebra @dansup @evan @cwebber @thisismissem @Claire @lanodan @trwnh @grishka @smallcircles @deadsuperhero The developers building the fediverse are saving the world in the way they know how.

@ocdtrekkie @dansup @evan @cwebber @thisismissem @Claire @lanodan @trwnh @grishka @smallcircles @deadsuperhero that’s fair. We do what we can with what we got.

@BoscoZebra In an existential sense, I can’t say that a single thing I do is “important” in the big picture. Some days, I get hung up over the idea that nothing I do actually matters. But, that could be said of any person, any effort, any dream.

There certainly won’t be statues built of me, or plays written in my honor. I probably won’t even have a Wikipedia page. But, I do feel that I’m writing about a significant development in online communities, one that could change the Internet as a whole. Being a part of that gives me drive, and a sense of purpose.

@dansup Heh, haven't been doing much lately when it comes to the fediverse though so thanks @hj and @tusooa

@lanodan @tusooa @dansup maybe you should ;_;

@hj @tusooa @dansup Yeah, it's just been pretty jading to deal with elixir breakages and random decrees from SocialHub.

@pfefferle Omg I knew I was forgetting someone 😅

You've done such amazing work bringing the largest website platform (Wordpress) to the fediverse and we're so lucky to have you dude, talk about impact, you've made the biggest one ☝️

pfefferle, 13 days ago

@dansup that’s simply a plugin! How many sites/projects do you maintain?

😘

I wasn’t aiming for that too, but thanks ☺️

@dansup And still we appreciate your hard work :blobcatheartR: :cat_hug_triangle:

@stux Omg I knew I was missing someone, you're such an iconic fediverse celebrity, and we're so lucky to have such dedicated admins (and developers) like you bro 😎

You really a fedi all star for all the instances and services you provide, don't forget it 💪

(And if wikipedia needs a source that you are a fediverse celebrity, link this toot, because you belong in the history books hunty!!)

@dansup Ohhhh nooo, I wasn't aiming for that! :catblush: :blobcatgiggle:
