Except unlike with Reddit, we can still have the small independent instances. And there will probably be more users on them in the future than there are Lemmy users today.
A few large players and the ability to choose smaller instances, and have them speak to each other, is still a huge upgrade over one player (Reddit) who doesn’t let other social media federate with it.
Not as good as the ideal fediverse, but a step in the right direction.

Sure, just as we have small independent email instances. But by and large the vast supermajority belong to a few large players.
I have no doubt the same will happen to the Fediverse.
Capitalism ruins everything in the end.

Oh, of course, I was never denying that.
