    No, because competition is built in by federation.

    Let’s say a major instance does some BS like reddit… we just export our accounts to another instance, and bam, they have no power over us.

    I mean the chances of that happening may occur to some instances, however because Lemmy is decentralized, it will probably not happen to the whole thing and I’m confident in the leadership of Lemmy.

    Lemmy itself is just ran by regular people. If one instance begins to moderate in a strange way or begins to allow things it shouldn’t allow. One can simply leave and move on to another instance

    As there are individual servers, if one server sold out users could move to others, and continue, no?
