Nowadays...

If there is one eternal constant in human history, it's that every generation inaccurately believes that the problems they face are new.

Human creates thing.

Thing is cool.

Humans exploit thing.

Thing is no longer cool.

Humans reminisce about how cool the thing used to be, and lament the loss of cool.

If Lemmy gets popular enough, it too will be monetized and we'll al have to find somewhere else to go.

If the future involves big popular mainstream paid instances, it sounds like the fediverse was a success.

Lemmy won’t be what it is now, but our niche instances can still exist.
