      It’s run through the Open Collective, and is also run by Ruud who runs one of the larger Mastodon instances as well as some other stuff on the Fediverse I believe. They’re a fairly trusted actor in the space and I think pretty transparent with everything they do which is probably another reason many people flocked there.

        I’m a little confused by your comment. What function does Open Collective serve other than simply as a fiscal host?

          A reliable pipeline for donations, transparency and experience running large Fediverse servers (EDIT: list of Fediverse servers run by Ruud). You’re right that they’re not directly involved in running the server, I had misunderstood that and thought they were directly associated for some reason.

          You’re absolutely right, I had completely misunderstood its involvement for some reason. Still, Ruud’s experience in the Fediverse running mastodon.world gives me reason to believe lemmy.world will be reliable too.
