    The difference is advertising. Lemmy has no incentive to sell you out. A company like reddit will squeeze every legal penny out of your personal info and then some more illegally if they think they can get away with it.

      just wait 5 years, the fediverse will either be dead or swallowed up by meta. the only two things it has to go for it is the decentralized nature and the absence of open advertisements.

          yeah, maybe, it will just keep staying under the radar and at some point someone will have to spend some cash to keep the lights on.

          Yeah I wouldn’t be surprised if fb or Reddit started their own Lemmy instances, which they would use to post ads, and have some user-transparent integration with their native platform.

          But I bet a lot of instances would de-fed them like you say.

        They didn’t figure on Reddit making it 5 years either. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯
