It's not the kids, not the lurkers, not the mods... y'all just nice people. Lemmy's got a good vibe going... or at least enough windows that we can close if the vibe gets shit.

Can we say we "made it" when megacorps start making their own instances and communities?

I think we'll have "made it" when You Tubers devote videos to reading Lemmy posts.

I don't think they'll use the actual Lemmy software. They'll probably make their own thing using the ActivityPub protocol.

And we'll start seeing "to view the whole post, register at Jojo Corp and get 25% of your first purchase!"

Oh, crap. I just thought of something. What if they try bribing instance owners to stay federated with them?
