. I left because I hated how Reddit, the corporation, took hold of our content and started restricting access to our content in order to negotiate deals with partners.

But how do you prevent this from happening if the content is centralized?

Let's imagine there's only one lemmy.net

Once we reach a big enough population (not a given, Discuit is still doing 210 weekly active users) , a company comes in, makes the owners an offer they can't refuse, and they do what you criticize in your previous comment

I have no idea and like (I think) I said, I'm not even sure that's an option we should consider. It's just it feels likes there is this path circling back to centralization and that makes me wonder.

That's why I (want to) believe in the fediverse. If something like that were to happen and that's also why I'm not sure centralization is a solution.
