    Or you could just to go the head admin’s blog, where he does financial breakdowns of where the whole *.world thing is up to (they run multiple instances).

      That’s awesome! Glad to see that my donations from canceling Reddit premium are making a difference. Hopefully the owners can eventually make an actual living off of this. Would be good for everyone involved
