@taylorlorenz No owners: Nobody owns the network, it can't be bought or sold, there is no oligarch deciding who can have accounts or what they can say or selling the data or putting their thumb on the scales of some algorithm.

The network is owned in common by us all.

@reiver If by "we" you mean you, and you want to help, then sure. Better if their software doesn't suck.

I ain't likely to do anything personally though.

@julian @stefan A reply isn't really pushed into the fediverse exactly, it's just delivered to the followers of the person replying. And most of those will ignore it unless they also follow the OP.

If it's not okay for you from a trust and safety perspective, you can always just not do it and leave the feature only for those for whom its fine or preferable.
