Can’t a corporation just enter the space whenever they want to? Can’t they start or even buy out larger instances? Even if Lemmy does take off, wouldn’t this inevitably happen anyway if the space gets popular enough?

    They could buyout instances if they wanted, but people could just moved to another instance and other instances can defederate from the corporate instance.

      Yeah, nothing better than taking a million euros and then just making a new instance with a slightly different name.
