    Corporations are coming, it’s inevitable, but at least this time we won’t have to deplatform ourselves to have a sensible discussion.

      Someone will try and justify corporate investments. And once they get in, they will infest. They ALWAYS play the long game.

        I agree that they will deliberately try to infiltrate, but corporations are notorious for never playing the long game.

        That is why lemmy is decentralized, no one can buy every single instance. and even when a corporation buys the codebase of lemmy, another person can come in and create their own platform that is still compatible

        Yeah there is, governments too. It’s not super widespread but they do have a presence.

        Due to how federation and anti-viral Mastodon is though, they can’t hijack trends and stuff so a lot will most likely never come.
