Yeah that is true, but it wasn't as bad on reddit back in the day (as far as I remember), it seems to have happened after reddit went super-mainstream a few years ago. So I am hoping lemmy will be like that until it "potentially" becomes super popular lol

What if Lemmy becomes so successful and then it gets acquired by Reddit? Lol.

Think of the big corps like Google, Facebook, etc. buying the competitors for their products.

Then you can move to another instance or host your own. They can't buy them all up.

Lmfao, imagine some corpo trying to buy up all the instances one by one while the users all migrate out of the instance immediately when that happens. That would be hilarious.
