IMO if Lemmy or any other fediverse programme became mainstream, it would become as rubbish as mainstream anti-social media. Corporations and bots would take over and bring all their putrid online-behaviours with them. I am happy to have found a community of sane, normal people. Not ragebaiting, not botting, not constantly advertising their Dropship trash from Alibaba, not screaming constantly into a camera because that’s what kids like, but rather being actually social on social media. I am happy about lemmy and the fediverse and I want it to stay an insider’s tip.

Disagree. The technology behind the fediverse is designed to prevent this. No matter how big one instance is or how much resources they have, they can never control anything more than their own server and users can federated and defederate as they wish.

I think that it’s still vulnerable to the explore expand exterminate model. Look at what Facebook threads is doing, same thing. They are slowly but surely infesting the fediverse like a cancer that grows, eventually killing the host by sucking its vital resources away.

There is a “big main instance” effect that seems to form unfortunately
And the barrier to transferring instances is quite high
