When I first got onto the site that shall not be named, while poking around in it I found that community fairly fast. I never participated due to the fact that I never needed it, but I also didn’t really have the extra cash to send a pizza to anyone as well. But I always thought it was such a genuine gesture of people on the internet, to just send a shitty domino’s pizza to someone who possibly was struggling and make their day/dinner a little better through a bit of generosity.
Does anyone else have a similar niche community that actually had an impact on peoples lives in a fairly positive way?
I haven’t even opened that site since I came on lemmy barring some Hearthstone quest trading, so I really don’t know if it exists any more and in whatever capacity if it does.
Totally forgot about millionairemakers tho, I did see that one as a bit more active through the years and found the concept pretty awesome.
I like the idea of food over money, though. It’s kind of my same approach when helping the homeless. I’m sure it was a moderated space to make sure the cash got to the person it was intended for but there is much more room for malicious intent with a wad of cash than sending a pizza to someone.
millionaire makers is a nice concept, the only problem is I think very few people actually pay into it. The winners every month don’t actually get much money.
