but they can’t just drop $44 billion and nonconsensually steal the website from every user.

Thanks for the detailed response! Sorry for the dumb question but: Why can't someone buy Eugen Rochko's company for $44 billion?

This makes sense, thanks!

If that's the case then what does Eugen Rochko do? Or is it like Linux where Linus Torvalds works on Linux every day but doesn't actually own or control things that are based on Linux (such as Android)?

Isn't Mastadon run by an organization started by Eugen Rochko? Could this organization not be bought? Or does it not make a difference who controls Rochko's organization? Sorry to ask such basic questions - I find the Fediverse pretty confusing.

Is there anything that stops Elon Musk from buying Lemmy or Mastadon? Even if everyone were to migrate over to the Fediverse, what stops these websites from being bought as well?

This makes sense, thanks!

This worked, thank you!

It was drawn by my acquaintance Komi (@komiiworldtour on Instagram)! I asked them to draw a logo for me. I just gave them a copy of the album and said they could do whatever they thought best fit the music. The logo is supposed to say 2005 and, although the final design isn't legible as such, I really love the energy of it. Commission Komi if you ever need a logo!

Sweet!

Thanks for listening!
