I fully agree.

at least lemmy has the spirit of not being manipulated again.
Maybe, though I wouldn't be surprised if some social marketing shit-bags already have accounts on various instances.
Lemmy would need to become significantly popular for it to be worthwhile for them to manipulate it; they might be laying the groundwork now. However, only time will tell. If Lemmy does become more popular, hopefully people here can effectively counteract any manipulation.
I think they may be pretty distracted by threads to be honest.
