We all know about how Reddit closed-sourced back in 2017 and will be killing off third-party apps this July, what will Lemmy.ml do to avoid facing the same fate? Reddit started off like this (open, aiming for freedom) and it all went downhill from there.

All you have to do is retain ownership and never do an IPO.

Having shareholders in a public market makes a company go evil.

I think we cannot tell, yet. For now everything looks good, as you said, ooen protocol and decentralized.

But when the hype hits then suddenly money could talk and things could get worse unfortunate.

Lets hope the best and use it while it lasts

Criticise any NATO supporting neoliberal or neoconservative westerner to the point they stop consenting to genocides and foreign interventions. Stop letting westerners be xenophobic racists against China/Russia. The death of western imperialism is the death of capitalism.

Edit: 1 minute and a downvote, seems like I hit the centre of the dart board. Anyone who hates China/Russia is a very nice way to filter out bad apples and ignoramuses.
