They buy out threats. Lemmy is not a threat. Lemmy will never be a threat. They’re big because during their start, they bought out anyone who could be a threat to them and now they have the network effect on their side.

Lemmy will probably always be a niche thing and that’s okay. I don’t see it as a threat to Meta. Facebook has close to 3b users.

If Lemmy/Kbin become big in any way, for profit mega-corporations will be here. I hate to be the bearer of bad news.
