More generally speaking, Lemmy (and other federated services) are board-proof. CEOs are not typically the actual culprit, they are the executors of the wishes of the board. Often times they have significant power, especially if they are also member of the board or a significant owner, but not always.

Exactly. Decentralized services and servers that are unified in a common standard is the way the web should always have been.

Someone fucked up and told the advertisers that a dollar could be made so we end up with the ad cancer that is the 'modern' web.
