Why so doom-and-gloom already? We just moved from Reddit and peope are excited about the possibilities that fediverse brings. Which are undeniably much broader when compared to Reddit.

Of course we don't know what is going to happen in the future, but this model certainly has better chances of being run "by the people for the people".

I don't care that the admins of lemmy.world money make a business out of it. In fact I would be glad if they did.

Having said that they know perfectly well what happend to Reddit when the company wanted to become more authoritarian. And we are talking about people jumping ship from Reddit to fediverse which is way big of a deal than people jumping from one instance to another which, once you are versed and familiar with how fediverse works, is child play.

My point is that the only business to make with fediverse is the one that servers the users, that is, a "CEO" or a collective will have no option but deeply care what the users want and need to make some bucks. Otherwise this enterprise can collaps really quickly when people jump to another instance.
