“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:
the heros are all the mods and hosters of instances, period. it takes time and effort so thank you.
what keeps me here is really what keeps me away from centralized social media mediums.
Appreciate that a lot!
My own project is a fun hobby, labor of love, and a way to give back to the graphic novel creators, but yeah… it feels good to be thanked, here and there. 🥲
Thank you for that!
That’s really nice of you thanks! I mod a few and it can be a lot of work.
