My biggest fear is if some corpos decide to set up mega instances and start dominating Lemmy by doing this, since corpos probably have the best budgets to set up massive server infrastructure. I think the more Lemmy grows the more attention it’ll get from corpos, which is not great.
The alternative is already corpo owned from the start. The nice thing with Lemmy is that a server can choose to federate or not that said corpo owned federated server.
Big corpos will always try to get their greasy hands on anything that they feel can make them money. But at least we have tools to not see those servers if so is the wish.
