  • Oprah is who made Dr. Phil and Dr. Oz public figures. She made them famous on her show.

    Edit:

    [Dr. Phil] McGraw rose to fame with appearances on The Oprah Winfrey Show in the late 1990s. Oprah Winfrey then helped McGraw launch his own advice show, Dr. Phil, in September 2002.

    In 2003, Oprah Winfrey was the first guest on the Discovery Channel series Second Opinion with Dr. Oz, and he was a regular guest on The Oprah Winfrey Show, making more than sixty appearances. In 2009, The Dr. Oz Show, a daily television program about medical matters and health, was launched by Winfrey's Harpo Productions and Sony Pictures Television, running for 13 seasons.

  • Okay, so Lemmy is federated meaning anyone can host their own server and connect with others doing the same. Most of us choose to register with one someone else has already made and maintains. I chose sh.itjust.works, you chose lemmy.zip, and this specific community we're commenting on happens to be hosted on lemmy.world.

    But federation means each instance "server" of Lemmy share everything between each other.

    Is that what you're asking?

  • But in a way, couldnt he buy the most population Instances like Lemmy.World? Is that a possibility?

    Unlikely, but either way, I'm not registered there and neither are you. There's already many of us hesitant of their size and are quick to recommend making new communities somewhere else.

    If that were to happen many people would make accounts elsewhere.

    To reiterate, this place isn't own by anyone. I'm confident we would all just move to other instances.

  • Can you expand on that?

    The fediverse is free. No shareholders.

    And by the way, it seems like upvoting and downvoting are pretty much worthless here right? Like there is no ranking system that permanently folllows you correct?

    I'd argue the only worth of votes is for posts and comments. Nothing good came from running aggregate "karma".

    When someone contributes here it's because they thought it worth sharing. Not that they knew a lot of people would push the happy button.
