I actually knew this! The creation origin is why I inhabit feddit.org consciously. In a dying instance, you found each other and came together to build where we speak now. I found that very human. Poignant.
I did a dive on the history of Feddit.org. I went back and read all your (our I guess) original threads. I have also read the posts where the decision was made to changeover. I liked that the posts were kind, empathetic, although slightly sad. It made me understand the spirit of this instance.
So, it’s true that no one has had contact with him? No one has any scraps of information from his real life? My guess is some of us do and the leads were exhausted. I have tracked down a fair share of anonymous friends across the world whom have disappeared. That is very sad.
I didn’t know about the “Fediverse Foundation” nor the multiple Admin. Where may I learn more about this? Or is this just word of mouth?
Thank you for sharing.
AFAIK no one knows anything about what happened to the old admin (he was called wintermute). The only thing that everyone knows is, that he went to south Asia and was expecting to not have internet access at all times. If someone would have known anything furthet I'm pretty sure I would have heard about it. You can find all the instances the fediverse foundation hosts here (German): https://fediverse.foundation/instanzen/. The thing with the multiple Admins is something known by the people. I know two people who are Admins ( @ZonenRanslite@feddit.org and @BurningTurtle@feddit.org the first one was one of the people who was very invested in the creation of this instance), but I guess there are more and of course the fediverse foundation itself.
Wow thank you for sharing all this and taking the time to explain to me. This is so sad and confusing about wintermute. I hope that against the odds wintermute comes back to us one day.
I feel very happy to have found you all and I would like to support our instance in whatever way I can. Vielen Dank ❤️
If you want to support Feddit.org The easiest and best way is by donating money to the fediverse foundation. You can find everything needed here: https://fediverse.foundation/spenden/
