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

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.

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

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.
