    Does anyone seriously believe there’s an indie third party social media site immune to a multi-million (possibly even billion) dollar buyout offer? One that won’t go the way of TikTok and be legislatively forced into sale?

    federated platforms

      Federation is easy. BlueSky is federated, ffs. You think Jack Dorsey would be shy about selling his Twitter knock-off a second time?

        Bluesky is poorly federated

        Lemmy is excellently federated:

        • Its users are split across many instances with no majority
        • Lemmy, PieFed, and other instance software exists, preventing anyone from seizing control of the network software
