Hey, so why does the fediverse think it is immune to corportization?

Id imagine its quite a bit easier to influence a system like lemmy than a closed loop.

because there are no investors

What corporation owns Lemmy? What profit does it stand to make?

[โ€“] Plastic_Ramses 1 points 7 months ago

Information is profit.

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago

External influence? Maybe. We'd been having more conflicts with the people who owned the closed loop.

I just hope the corpos don't find our most representative instance with the richest subscribers: hexbear.

How corpo can affect a Lemmy instance

  • bribe the instance owner
  • force the instance to show ads
  • force the instance to show topics of interest

But this needs to done with the help of the instance owner. It's possible but they can only do it for one instance at a time. That's the beauty of a distributed system. It's not possible to affect the entire fediverse.

But, I'm pretty sure they are harvesting our data pretty hard because all this is prime data, free from bots. But chances of influence is slim.
