That isn't the way the Internet works. If the 220k lemmy users were the most active out of the 800m, then reddit is basically dead.

Actually, the government did just call up Twitter and tell them to censor things. That's the whole point of the Matt Taibbi Twitter Files stories. But you also have other non-government groups policing the Internet, calling up Twitter/Facebook/Google/etc and demanding censorship.
On every conspiracy theory forum, there's at least one person posting antisemitic stuff. It's a standard trick to discredit them. I.e., person A posts a true conspiracy theory X. Person B posts the same conspiracy theory and also something antisemtic. Does that automatically mean X is wrong?
Switching to Discord is pointless. That's switching from a website controlled by one evil corporation to one controlled by a different evil corporation. Discord is still in hyper-growth mode, so they aren't going to be adding user-hostile features for awhile. Tilde has the same problem.
The webapp is good enough for me. (for lemmy)

They're probably smart enough to not get caught nowadays.
There are conspiracy theories on the Internet that Google and Facebook were created to centralize control of the Internet in a few large corporations, who then would be able to control what information people see. You also have to think bigger than government. Who has more influence? The President? Or the CEO of Blackrock and other large hedge funds, who control all the voting shares in pretty much every public corporation?
For example, if you control the mainstream media and big tech, you can make an issue seem like a huge problem by overhyping it everywhere. You can cover up real problems by never mentioning them at all. The CEO of Google is NOT elected. A couple of hedge fund managers get to pick the CEO of Google.
How do you know that there's only one person working the account? When you're a reddit moderator, it's anonymous (same on Wikipedia). For all we know, all the power mods are working at a PR firm somewhere. Spreading misinformation could be their full-time job. Controlling the flow of information on Reddit and Wikipedia could be worth more than Reddit's actual profit.
With lemmy, if someone is squatting a bunch of forums and moderating them, you can always start your own lemmy instance and start your own forum with the same title.
There's nobody to sue. The CEO is dead. Oceangate is a bankrupt company with no assets.
There's really no reason to have more than one. You can only carry one at a time. I buy one and keep it until it breaks or is obsolete.
I currently have a 2 year old RG351MP.
Most incremental games are html that just runs in a browser. Only the ones that have multiplayer would have some sort of server code, and the developers usually don't publish that.
