I don’t think it’s necessary “CEO proof” but it is definitely a bit better positioned to avoid the pitfalls that Twitter and Reddit have experienced. Hence the reason I am here. But there’s nothing stopping a for-profit corporation from buying out the owner of a large instance (or multiple large instances). I think the best way to try and prevent that is for people to join hyper-local, hyper-specific instances that can all connect with one another. I assume that would be the benefit of Lemmy.

You can see a good example of this in the gaming sphere as both Path of Exile and Warframe have entire instances for themselves.
Yeah I think that’s the best way to proceed. Also just found this which is really helpful for finding where people might have scattered.
