I’m not your fwiend, buddy!

Sure, just as we have small independent email instances. But by and large the vast supermajority belong to a few large players. I have no doubt the same will happen to the Fediverse. Capitalism ruins everything in the end.

I’m lost.

Oh good gods I hope not. That kind of popularity is what killed Reddit. Getting hugely popular --> Higher server costs --> Increased temptation towards profit-seeking Sure, the whole of Lemmy wouldn’t privatize (at least at first), but what would likely happen is just as what has happened over the last 20 years with email: a few instances gets most of the traffic over the course of a decade or two, meaning small, independent instances won’t be able to compete. Sure, their hosting ability (“users/dollar”, if you will) would plateau, but as more and more people join the big instances (think lemmy.world, lemmy.ml, and so forth), the percentage of the Fediverse going to small, independent instances would increasingly get smaller, until we end up a corporatized federated Web to match our corporatized unitary Web.

there is around 193 countries in the world All of which are out of my reach. Lol.

hosted in a territory that doesn’t require these “security” measures And then what do we do once everyone does these measures? There will be nowhere to run.

(Lol that is funny.) Also, I'm not your pal, friend!

I'm not your buddy, guy!

It's a castle, and I'm not your guy, friend!

Welcome to the Department of Redundancies Department! How can we help you!

I think it’s nonsense. The “free market” is never truly free, and if there isn’t something holding the capitalist class back, they will always dominate the working class until the system just breaks. The only way for a stable society to exist is for checks and balances.

People in the European Middle Ages (5^th–15^th centuries CE, in case you’re curious) thought the earth was flat.
