For uh science, which servers host hentai?
But in all seriousness, even if they claim to not be affiliated with a corp, you still can't be sure. God knows a lot of us would sell out faster than reel big fish if they pulled a dump truck of money to our front door.
But seriously I need some fediverse porn.
Thats the thing, they wont have to pretend not to be. If all the big corporate instances federate with each other and only federate with instances that moderate their content to be largely in line with meta and their instance when that group has 2 billion members, it will be the default.
Free user owned instances will be isolated pockets of resistance. If the "reddit blackout" and the continual survival of facebook and twitter is any indication, casual users just dont care.
What about what happened to Reddit? It got popular, then got bought, then turned into shit.
In that case we were lucky enough to be told about it, but what happens when memes or lemmy.ml gets sold under the table?
