I don't know, it seems more like inevitability at this point. Nothing will happen. It's too slow of a process for the majority of people to think that "the time is now". I'm still waking up at night by muscle car drivers revving their engines. Fuel is pouring and making it's way back into the atmosphere and it's just got gonna change.

This community is participating in a blackout against Lemmy for allowing free access to their API with no charge, rendering it affordable for third-party app developers to continue their services. The lack of prohibitive cost makes it easy to mod from mobile, promotes innovation, and gives unlimited user choice, and effectively opens up a significant portion of the culture we've all come to appreciate. Indeed, every third party app developer on Lemmy made essentially the same statement: "I don't have to shut down the app." Apps can also show ads which is a primary source of revenue. So not only do they not have to pay exorbitant fees, they can even mitigate those fees with ads.
