Yeah. The discord is, I don't know what it is now, but it's somewhere between 20 and 30,000 people. And, uh, That's way too many people. And so there's been a good volunteer community of moderators that work really hard because it's also somewhat of a chaotic experience having 30,000 people in one text channel. And so they work really hard and do a great job and not just contribute on that.

A couple of the moderators maintain the Discord bot that is used for a variety of things. In addition to that, there's been a couple hundred moderators

code contributors to go see already and the thing that stood out to me the most about that was I went back and listened to our 2012 vagrant changelog episode a week ago since I was like I wonder what I was doing back then that really threw me back and The first thing I noticed is we were talking about how Vagrant passed something like some number of stars.

But I remember it had just passed something like 100 contributors. And it was already two years old and pretty popular by the time we were talking. And we're talking about how I was so amazed by that. And I was thinking, wow, the software developer ecosystem has gotten so much bigger. Obviously, due to some of my background, it attracts more people. But

Ghostie in private beta has more stars and almost double the contributors that Vagrant had after two years of being a public project. And so that was kind of like a mind-blowing thing. But that's, yeah, it's sort of built. The we is really the community in terms of people that are working, I guess, like even multiple hours a week on this. It's probably just me, but yeah.

Hey. There's a funny detail to that, I think, is that I thought for sure when I started working on a terminal more seriously that very few people, first of all, would care. But of those very few that cared, I thought that demographically it would skew to a more mature audience. Hmm. But what I've discovered is that a lot more people care about terminal aspect.

And predominantly of those people, it is young people. When I say young people, I literally mean teenagers in school, a lot of teenagers in school up to, early twenties, early career type people. And because of that, there's some shenanigans, I will say within the discord. And so the monitor and the moderators are very sensitive.

There's been a lot of scams, a lot of phishing, a lot of stuff, just people just trying to get into the beta. And it's not that important, but you know, I think when you're younger, you're a little more zealous about these things. And so, and so the moderators I think are very,

There you go. I'm surprised you didn't get banned, honestly. Like usually those types of things pop up and there's sort of like, because there's like 10 moderators or less, I think there's like seven moderators and 25,000 people. Most of the time when stuff like that starts happening, moderators are just like, I don't have time for this. And they just ban you from the server.

Not as much as I would like due to time constraints, but it's something I'll keep thinking about. So for the 1.0 public launch, it'll just really be me and my side project. It's really my project type thing. A lot of community in terms of contributions, Discord, moderators, love all those people.
