Lemmy is CEO-proof. After Digg, Reddit and Twitter, that term should be a thing (yiffit.net)

Perhaps you are right. They also have server costs, but maybe they aren't as big. But other federated networks exist: Mastodon, Matrix and PeerTube. I don't think they have ads, so Lemmy should be able to at least reach their size without them. I can't say what would happen when it reaches a billion users though.

On the other hand the costs will be distributed among many instance owners, so I don't know why ads would be needed. We can have thousands of instances for example.
