We all know about how Reddit closed-sourced back in 2017 and will be killing off third-party apps this July, what will Lemmy.ml do to avoid facing the same fate? Reddit started off like this (open, aiming for freedom) and it all went downhill from there.

Lemmy is decentralised, so if Lemmy.ml goes wrong then people can move to other instances and carry on as normal :)

And, importantly, the rest of the network can defederate from them.

This is the most important characteristics in terms of moderation and the lemmy as a whole. It just cannot fall apart in a way Reddit did.
