MODERATORS
Who are you guys if you don't mind me asking. What's your background?
We're just two software devs, and prefer to stay anonymous / undoxxed.
Would you consider reaching out to Victoria and see if she would be willing to start a new AMA community? This seems to be a chance to recreate all the best of the old/lost internet
Someone could do that for us, we're pretty busy.
That would be epic
That would be great, but remember that Victoria was a paid employee at Reddit. Lemmy isn't a company and it's not trying to be, so there's no pay incentive.
She was? I thought she started as a volunteer
Is her social media public?
I've no idea
Im from Germany and studied computer science. Was always very interested in open source and decentralized software. Worked in a couple different companies, but was never happy making profit for someone else. Luckily I found Lemmy shortly after Dessalines started the project, and put a lot of work into it. Then we found the NLnet funding which allowed us to work fulltime on the project.
