  I know a few people on a certain site that host a kind of reddit alternative in their free time.

        No not me lol, I’m a glorified moderator. The guys I’m talking about are the actual hosts of this website.

        I don’t know him but I do know that people have been banned for criticizing Lemmy administration wrt potential monetization.

        I don’t want to be banned so I will not comment further on the admin.

        I don’t deny that there are software engineers that would work for free but they are not common.

  I don’t think many people were paid to work on the Fediverse.

  Or emulators.

  Or most free software.

    That isn’t a job to them though, it is more like a hobby.

    If you want peoples undivided attention, you will have to pay them, no matter how utopian your vision.

    Which you can easily afford with 330 million funding.
