I feel like corporations look at Lemmy/The Fediverse the same way Mufasa looked at the place where the hyenas lived.

I mean, good? I guess they'd bring some user growth, but they'd just post their brand stuff that I don't imagine most people really want in their feeds, and there's the risk that they end up getting favored treatment on larger instances by donating more than a typical user can or paying the moderators there.

Yes, we want to build a social network free of the corporate hold so we shouldn't be eager to welcome corporation.

My thoughts exactly.

There are vanishingly few places on the Internet that are not inundated with constant ads, promotions, astroturfing, and commercials.

It's why I like it here.
