Earlier today there was a post about rejecting Meta's intrusion in the fediverse, some don't see the danger in it or think it's unlikely that Meta can do any damage to the fediverse.

Someone posted this in the comments and I think it's extremely relevant and it deserves its own post so all can see it.

But it is important to note that the tactic could get implemented by people other than big companies.

And while Lemmy is AGPL licensed, the license doesn't appear to compel modifiers to publish their code. So, you could have a Lemmy instance develop new features, but not provide the source code for those features.

Yup, anyone can do it but it's definitely a resource heavy task
