Yeah, you're probably right, though by then hopefully it should be relatively easy to defedrate from them.
Meta, being the bloodsucking mega-corp it is, has so much money it can throw oodles of cash at anyhing that looks interesting or that has promise to suck it up.
I could see how the mods of instances may be tempted with cash to buy capacius servers instead of fighting month to month for funds, and many if not all of them have real jobs.
Still, it's meta. The worst of the worst, just in front of google as our future overlords.
Lemmy will probably always be a niche thing and that’s okay. I don’t see it as a threat to Meta. Facebook has close to 3b users.
Meta likely see everyone as a potential threat, and since reddit is pretty big but mail fall, they are looking at whom might succeed them and become a new competitor to meta and taking away eyes from meta and ad profit.
I wouldn't underestimate their "buy 'em out" mentality. There's a reason they're huge.
They buy out threats. Lemmy is not a threat. Lemmy will never be a threat. They’re big because during their start, they bought out anyone who could be a threat to them and now they have the network effect on their side.
