“Sometimes there’s a man… I won’t say a “hero,” because what’s a hero? But sometimes there’s a man who… well, he’s the man for his time and place!” – Sam Elliot (the Stranger) from the glorious The Big Lebowski
You know that classic quote about standing on the shoulders of giants (and pioneers)? Honestly, in so many ways, that’s how I truly feel about the good ol’ Fediverse.
So, to sum up-- who are YOUR heroes here, and what does keep you hanging on here, baby…?
EDIT: For people wondering about what kinds of ‘bumps & difficulties’ I’ve personally experienced, here’s a tiny sampler:
it has accelerated this year alone, right when trumps started enacting his plans, plus MUSK is interfering with reddit. significant ban waves went after non-propaganda spamming that usually arnt the problem(of and link accounts), then it started banning people in large numbers, plus all thier old accounts were hit, and shadowbans have increased so much.
