it won't take long for big companies to come knocking, trying to take over our communities. what's the plan of action then? do we have to fear suing?

I imagine if Lemmy/the fediverse get big enough, corps will make accounts. It's a small step from there to making their own instances, then modifying those instances so that they can see out, but you have to be registered locally to see in. I'm not sure how difficult that would be to implement.

But if they behaved like this, other instances would just block them from federation ("seeing out" to other instances) and they'd be isolated in their own little silo. That's the beauty of federated networks - bad actors will be naturally pushed out and isolated.

I'm not saying it's likely or would work, I'm just spitballing.
