i wonder what things will be like if lemmy ever gets large enough to warrant attention from vulture funds and the american gov't
The admins are principled Marxists so they wouldn't sell out or concede without a fight.
that's only true for the minority of instances on the lemmverse and the american government likes to use "bread and stick" tactics to force people to do things.
Which will only matter if those instances are hosted in the US, which a lot aren't.
you say that as if the american gov't doesn't have a reach outside this country...
At the moment, apart from Russia, you might've noticed the US is going through a bit of a sticky phase with its once-friends.
i'm convinced it's temporary.
