Can’t a corporation just enter the space whenever they want to? Can’t they start or even buy out larger instances? Even if Lemmy does take off, wouldn’t this inevitably happen anyway if the space gets popular enough?

    Do you have a source for Meta being involved with mastodon.social? That’s highly concerning because the same people that run mastodon.social also run lemmy.world.

      All I’ve heard is that their new Threads app will be connected to the fediverse. Not sure what other development there is.

      honestly i don’t have a specific source, it’s more something i found out through hearsay on mastodon.social. personally i’m now part of a calckey instance that’s specifically stated they won’t associate with meta. searching around i found this but nothing concrete.

        Ah, I tried deleting my comment pretty quickly after making it when I did some research and realized I was wrong. The deleted comment must not have updated properly with other Lemmy instances? Lemmy.world is not run by the same people as mastodon.social - you’re right that it’s run by the same people as mastodon.world. I was mistaken.
